G.K. Chesterton, in “A Piece of Chalk”, describes putting brown paper and chalks in his pocket. He reflects that pocket objects are primeval and poetical, calls the pocket-knife “the infant of the sword”, and says a planned book of poems about pocket objects would be too long, while the age of great epics is past. Based only on this passage, which statement is true?
He carries a mirror to reflect upon things.
He decided to write a poem on epics.
The pocket-knife is described as the infant of the sword.
Correct answer: (C) The pocket-knife is described as the infant of the sword.
Explanation
The passage explicitly gives the knife–sword description in C. Reflecting means thinking, not using a mirror; the proposed poems concern pocket objects, and the passage does not call epics inconvenient. **C**.
