Mahmoud Darwish was born in 1941 and died in August 2008, after his birthday that year. How old was he when he died?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Sixty-seven
- Step 1: Subtract the birth year from the year of death: 2008 minus 1941 is 67. Step 2. He had already had his birthday in 2008, so no year is removed. Answer: sixty-seven. Why not the others: sixty-six assumes his birthday had not come and the others miscount.
