D) Ethical conduct
Explanation:
Ethical conduct is acting in ways in which the society believes certain things should be conducted which they think are good values. According to the scientific research children learn from their surroundings and develop a thinking and behaviour which is influenced by the society.
As indicated by logical research, kids gain from their environment and creative thinking and conduct which is impacted by society. Since kids need some moral conduct as they grew up, so they would not encroach on any other person's life.
The plot of Lord of the Flies is very much about survival and how certain roles of groups will emerge any time you have a group of people, no matter where. A leader will always emerge and sometimes more than one which creates conflict. Also, a follower will emerge and they will side with the leader of their choice and follow their actions, even if it goes against what they might believe inside. They might follow out of fear and not just because they admire a leader. Being in a primitive setting shows that this idea of emerging roles will happen no matter what the setting and it has happened all the way back to cave people (similar to this primitive setting). Nobody has an advantage in this setting, being socially more refined, richer, etc. doesn't make one a better leader on an island.

Answer: 4. Littluns</h3>
The proof of this is at the sentence at the top of the paragraph that contains the passage your teacher gave you. The sentence I'm referring to is this:
<em>The smaller boys were known now by the generic title of “littluns.”</em>
Then later on in that same paragraph is when your passage shows up. So effectively much of that paragraph is talking about littluns
In literary terms, it's most like a decision. If this is referring to conclusions in science, however, it is closer to a prediction.
