Question

Explain why Bill’s offer wasn’t ‘entirely a matter of brotherly love’?
in easy words

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator began to understand that Bill's helpfulness for him was not completely of brotherly love. He was a perfect businessman. The narrator paid him for six hours, including the lunch hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bill was charging the narrator for the six hours spent along with the lunch hour. He was a perfect businessman. That is why, Bill's offer was not entirely out of brotherly love.

Explanation:

• This is an extract from the chapter 'The Hack Driver'.
• In this story, Bill is portrayed as a clever businessman who converts every opportunity in his favour.
• The narrator was paying him two dollars per hour for his service.

Hence, Bill's offer was not out of sheer brotherly love but was due to the motive of making money.
