Where could Amir find the Taliban official who took Sohrab?

• A. Ghazi Stadium, where the national team played soccer.
• B. A secret village hidden in the mountains.
• C. The city courthouse.
• D. The water treatment plant.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing where the Taliban’s power is most visibly on display in the story, which guides where the confrontation with the official happens. Ghazi Stadium in Kabul is portrayed as a central symbol of Taliban authority—a public arena where they stage events and demonstrate control over the city. That setting is tied to the plot’s turn involving the man who took Sohrab, making it the place Amir and his companions pursue and confront him in order to rescue Sohrab. The other locations don’t fit the narrative’s setup: a hidden mountain village isn’t tied to the official’s whereabouts or the rescue sequence, a city courthouse doesn’t align with the specific encounter, and a water treatment plant has no connection to the Taliban’s operations in this part of the story.
