Question

Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.

[Rev. Simon Hosack] entered fully into the feeling of suffering and sorrow which took possession of me when I discovered that a girl weighed less in the scale of being than a boy, and he praised my determination to prove the contrary. The old grammar which he had studied in the University of Glasgow was soon in my hands, and the Greek article was learned before breakfast. . . .

Which question would best help the reader understand Rev. Hosack’s viewpoint in this excerpt?

Why did the pastor study Greek at the University of Glasgow?
Why does the pastor agree to help Stanton with her studies?
What methods did the pastor use to teach Stanton Greek?
