Question

Hard Times

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Children who learn facts and conform will likely succeed in life.

Answer 2

The theme that the passage implies about children and learning is :C. Children who learn facts and conform will likely succeed in life. Even though the speech is described from the narrator's perspective, we have to focus on the words, not on the narrator's attitude. With all the strictness and seriousness, all the people on the scene tried to show the importance of appealing to facts and of being pragmatic, meaning that only if kids followed this way of learning they would succeed.
