Hi there!
The answer to your query is the Option :-
<u>B) Showing mercy is more important than revenge. Being betrayed by others is painful.
</u>Proof :
As per given paragraph, the saying of Mowgli "Because I was all but your brother in blood, I promise that when I am a man among men I will not betray ye to men as ye have betrayed me.", shows that he will never betray his companions. It's inner meaning is that he will be sad if mercy is not shown to those who are in trouble. We must help them.
Answer: A
Explanation:
''He now had to make a decision, a choice between two dreams.'' is the sentence that is showing how the actions of a character develop the theme since after this sentence readers will expect and want to know what will happen. They know that the character must decide and do something about his problem.
- B is an incorrect answer because in this sentence it says that the character will not make that decision today so the readers will have a feeling like the character would not do anything about it.
- C and D are blocking the theme, they are not developing it since the character in both sentences is wanting to forget about the situation.
What is the question exactly ?
The answer could be A or B because the date of the webpage could be outdated and the author of the page could be unreliable. I personally would say A.
