What was Peak's motive for tagging buildings?

• A. He believed there wasn't enough mystery in tagging
• B. He wanted attention
• C. He enjoyed graffiti
• D. He was paid by a gang

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding what drives Peak to tag buildings. He isn’t tagging just for noise or simple visibility; his actions are about shaping how people see him. Peak treats tagging as a way to craft a story and a sense of intrigue around himself. He believes there isn’t enough mystery in tagging as a mere mark, so he pushes it to be more enigmatic, turning each tag into a clue or puzzle that invites speculation about who is behind it. This motive fits his mindset as someone chasing a distinctive reputation and a kind of urban legend around his name, rather than money, mere enjoyment of graffiti, or gang affiliation.
