A false premise is an incorrect theory that forms the basis of an argument or minor premise.
After reading "How Santa Claus Found the Poor-House," by Sophie Swett, we can say that the quotation that gives evidence to Part A is:
C. "He had become so accustomed to looking for a bright side that he could find one when you wouldn't have thought there was any there." ( Paragraph 28)
In Part A, we were asked about how Gobaly's attitude changed while he was shoveling snow.
The answer is that he was initially upset that it would not be a happy Christmas. However, his conversation with Methuselah reminds him to be positive.
Methuselah is weaker than Gobaly, so Gobaly feels very protective of him. They are both orphans who live at the Poor-House.
Whenever Gobaly is around Methuselah, he looks for the bright side of things so that his friend will be happy.
In their conversation about Christmas, Gobaly is trying to cheer Methuselah up. That is what makes his attitude change.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option.

In my opinion, the sentences that correctly use quotations are:
<span>2) Swift asserts that whoever finds “a fair, cheap and easy method” for solving the overwhelming issue of poverty in England would deserve to have “his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.” The author quotes chosen parts of Swift's narrative with correct punctuation.
</span><span>4) Swift explains that his proposal would bring relief to impoverished parents because they would “be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year.” The author quotes a part of the narrative.
5) “This would be a great inducement to marriage, which all wise nations have either encouraged by rewards, or enforced by laws and penalties,” writes Swift about his proposal. The author quotes an entire sentence as direct speech.
</span>
The first example isn't correct because the whole sentence is in quotation marks. The third one isn't correct either because there is no quotation; it is just a paraphrase.
