Answer:

Trying to understand the feelings of others is a form of courage.

Explanation:

'The Hobbit' is a novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The novel is about the quest of Bilbo Baggins.

In Chapter 5, Riddles in the Dark, of book 'The Hobbit', Bilbo met Gollum in the cave. Gollum was a small slimy creature, who lived alone in the caves and preyed upon fish and goblins. Gollum was the master of the invisible ring.

After Bilbo found the invisible ring, he put it on to run away from the cave without being seen by goblins. But Gollum smelled Bilbo and tried to stop his way. At this point, Bilbo, who was invisible, spared Gollum's life, who tried to harm him, because he considered it to be unfair as he was invisible and Gollum without sword. Then he began understand the situtation of Gollum, who lived a miserably alone life in cave, therefore, he leaped over Gollum and left the cave.

This action reveals the theme that trying to understand other's feeling is a form of courage. Therefore, option A is correct.

Can you give an example of comparison and contrast?​
denis23 [38]

Sure! So, for starters, you want to compare and contrast two things that are similar, not very different. For example, you would compare and contrast reading a book to listening to an e-book, and you would not compare and contrast reading a book to ridding a bus.

so, for an example of this:

Reading a book is the same as listening to an e-book because both ways you are getting the same information. Reading a book and listening to an e-book are different because reading needs, you guessed it, reading, but you don't need to read to listen to an e-book.

Hope this helps!
