This excerpt comes from the story “<u><em>The Crab that Played by the Sea”</em></u> written by Rudyard Kipling. It is a fable to teach children about the origin of life.
Question: Which evidence best supports the conclusion that the narrator is telling this story with a particular child in mind?
Answer: D. “Pau Amma’s babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!”
A list where you just jot quick things down
I think A. Otherwise you would have to wait some time for an answer to be written down.
The best answer is "powerless and depressed". Words like "cough", "choke", "old", and "finally" convey a sad mood, which rules out "angry and vengeful" and "indifferent". The girl is clearly frightened and sad, without any say in the current matters, which makes the best answer "powerless and depressed".
