Take the following as truth: As his fellow Impressionists died one after the other--Pissarro in 1903, Cezanne in 1906, Degas in 1917, Renoir in 1919--Monet ended up, once again, like Ishmael, at the end of Moby-Dick : Now I am the last survivor of the group, he sighed.
Then the following statement: "Monet had never actually read Moby Dick" is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
