Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard? M: See what? W: In the paper. It says, there is a man going around pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he is coming to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they are out of the room he steals their money, handbag whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know, Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you're expecting them. W: It's all very well to say that. But someone comes to the door, and says electricity or gas and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you M: Does this man have an ID then? W: Yes, that's just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper the police are warning people especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the postoffice to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Mr. Hudson, where were you born and raised? M: I was born in Chicago, but I didn't live there any more. I was raised in Washington, grew up there until I went to college in New York and then Harvard. W: Looking back. How did you think your parents shaped your character? M: Well, it's hard to estimate entirely. I was quite fond of my parents and considered them very good people. My mother was a kind of very feminist and a well-known Jewish poet. She became internationally known. My father was a lawyer. And though it's hard to say how much they influenced me, I liked them, I respected them and I'm sure I was influenced to some degree by them. W: You were educated in the public schools? M: We moved almost every year, so I went to a different public school each year. W: So you would have been in high school and what years... approximately? M: Oh, I was in high school when... 26 or 27? I forgot. I graduated from high school in 32. W: What did you study in university? M: Well, that's a difficult question. I started out thinking I'd be an economist, and then I got disappointed with that. And after an odd experience in my junior year, I decided that I'd go out and study agriculture or management, but I enrolled in both for a whole year and tried to learn the required courses. I lasted a year, and then I came back to the main campus and finished up as an economics major specializing in labor economics. W: Did you go right graduate school or join the army after you graduated from the university? M: Well, I went to Harvard as a graduate student in philosophy in 1936, and stayed there until the war broke out. I was drafted after I took my PhD exams in the early part of 1941. So I went into the army before Pearl Harbor. Question: Mr. Hudson's mother was a famous______. - poet. - lawyer. - politician.
A: poet.
