Question

Read the passage, and answer the question that follows: Lucas shivered as the thunder crashed outside his window. The cold, damp, cabin was hours away from town. Alone and scared, he huddled by the tiny candle. As he wondered whether he would survive the night, a leak opened up in the roof. Water toppled onto the table, drowning the flame, and the room was cast into darkness. What object in the paragraph best symbolizes hope? (5 points) The candle The thunder The water The window

Answer 1

The candles show hope because even though there is darkness all around them, they light up and may shine over the dark places as well. 
Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

I'm doing the quiz now the answer is the candle if you take notes from the lesson.
