单选题 He found his father hard to understand because his father was too short and thin.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 原文第一段第一行说到“I could have loved him as I loved my mother but he seemed to hold us off so that we could not approach”(我本可以像爱妈妈一样爱爸爸的,但他看上去和我们保持距离,所以我们无法接近他),这里关键词是“hold…off”,意思为:“和…保持一定的距离”。所以我们得知作者认为爸爸难以接近是因为他和孩子们有距离,并不是因为他“too short and thin”,所以本题的命题为错误。
