Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt presents a true/false claim about Hemingway and his memoir title, so we should examine both the factual elements and the underlying reasoning.
Option True: 'Hemingway believed that hunger should be avoided at all times as it led to sloppy thinking. Hence, the title of his memoires, A Moveable Feast.' This is inaccurate for multiple reasons. First, there is no widely accepted or documented belief attributed to Hemingway that hunger must be avoided at all times because it causes sloppy thinking. While he did write about food and hunger in Paris, the statement wrongly overgeneralizes his views as a categorical rule. Second, the title A Moveable Feast is a literary pun and metaphor tied to experiences in Paris and the broader idea of feast (culture, ideas, experiences) that move with you, not a doctrinal claim about hunger impairing thinking. The connection implied between hunger, sloppy thinking, and the title is not supported by Hemingway’s stated views or the book’s intended meaning.
Option False: 'False' is the correct classification here. This answer acknowledges that the asserted belief about hunger and the claimed rationale for the memoir’s title do not align with the historical context. The memoir’s title reflects the idea that Paris and its cultural feast traveled with the author, not that hunger dictated his beliefs about thinking. Additionally, the subtitle and framing of A Moveable Feast center on literary and social experiences in 1920s Paris rather than a formal doctrine about hunger or thinking quality.
Option 2 (the false statement) correctly identifies the mismatch between the claim and the actual context of Hemingway’s memoir and its title, while Option 1 would require accepting an unsupported, overly specific claim about Hemingway’s beliefs that isn’t corroborated by the text or scholarly accounts.
Option 3 and Option 4 would similarly misattribute meaning or rely on an incorrect interpretation of the title or Hemingway’s views, reinforcing why they are not accurate representations of the memoir’s intent or Hemingway’s philosophy about hunger and thinking.
