Consider this theme:Appearances can be deceiving.Which excerpt from Frankenstein best supports this theme?A. "I have good dispos
itions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds [people's] eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster."B. "I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."C. "Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in which you first saw light! Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that formed you! You have made me wretched beyond expression."D. I knew well, therefore, what would be my father's feelings; but I could not tear my thoughts from my employment.
Answer: A) "I have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds [people's] eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster."
Explanation: From the given options, the excerpt from "Frankenstein" that best supports the theme of appearances being deceiving, is the corresponding to option A, because the speaker is describing how despite having good dispositions and being a kind friend, no one notices it because of his appearance of a detestable monster, this shows that we can't trust appearances.
