Question

Which of the following inferences is BEST supported by the details in Beauty and The Beast (story)?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is B) Beast had secretly put out food for Beauty's father.

Explanation: In the story, the father enters the castle and both dinner and breakfast are served to him without a trace of the Beast. When he picks the rose, the Beast confronts him which leaves me to believe that the Beast was there the whole time and fed him. A) the handsome prince frightened Beast out of the castle. is not correct because the Beast and the prince are the same person. C) Beauty was unhappy living at the farmhouse. does not seem correct because it is never inferred that she was unhappy living at the farmhouse, rather it was her sisters that did not like living at the farmhouse. D) Beauty's father hoped his daughter would marry Beast. does not seem like the correct answer because it is not inferred that Beauty's father wants his daughter to marry the Beast and indeed, seems quite the opposite.

Hope this helps!   :)
