'The Green Satin Gown' penned by Laura E. Richards explores the theme of 'the reward of displaying kindness to others.' It narrates this idea through a girl who wore the old green satin gown for the kind and wealthy lady on her request. The party had too many important people but the girl still wore the old-fashioned dress to saved the lady's important day by going against her own will(displays her kindness and good will). She put her own wish and embarrassment at stake and did that for her and in reward, the lady provided her not only with an expensive necklace and gold coins but also left her inheritance for her. This substantiates the claim of kindness and gentleness yeilding extraordinary rewards. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
The correct answer is D. A good life comes from doing what makes you happy. Teaching English is what the character really wishes to do whereas his parents obviously think about the financial prospects and not about what makes their son happy.
