Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "No sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. Do you know where the wicked go after death?" "They go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer. "And what is hell? Can you tell me that?" "A pit full of fire." "And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?" "No, sir." "What must you do to avoid it?" I deliberated a moment; my answer, when it did come, was objectionable: "I must keep in good health, and not die." Jane Eyre's naïvete is clearly revealed through _____. Select all that apply. her limited understanding of religious doctrine her very literal interpretation of Mr. Brocklehurst's question Mr. Brocklehurst's belief that she is "naughty" and "wicked" Mr. Brocklehurst's impatience with her behavior

Answer 1

Answer:

her limited understanding of religious doctrine AND her very literal interpretation of Mr. Brocklehurst's question

Explanation:

In this excerpt it is clear that Jane knows the correct answers to the questions because they have been drilled into her. However, it is not clear she actually understands that her bad choices and behavior will result in going to hell. When she is asked a question that she doesn't have an answer that has been taught to her, she uses her own thoughts. Her answer that she just shouldn't die would definitely keep her out of hell, but it isn't what Mr. Brocklehurst is hoping she'll say.
