5 0

Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted.

Here is the excerpt from the novel:

"Even if Johnny did live he'd be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).

Answer:

Musical lyrics.

Explanation:

"The Great Wave", a famous painting of a seascape with Mt. Fiji in the background was done by Hokusai, a Japanese painter. This painting reflected the newly emerging nation of Japan and how it is 'coming' into the world.

When Neil MacGregor presented this painting to the audience in Japan, the director of London's British Museum presents how this painting came to emerge. He also focused on how the Asian nation 'grew' slowly while the world is occupied with 'wars'. And in his rhythmic presentation, MacGregor used a musical lyric as his outside source.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
