Answer:
Mowgli, armed with fire, is about to confront the wolves and Shere Khan, who want to kill him.
Explanation:
At this point in the story, Mowgli has learned that many of the younger wolves fear him as he is growing into a man. Their leader, who loves Mowgli, is getting old and will soon be replaced. Mowgli steals fire from the village and takes it to to Council Rock to prove his superiority over the animals. The wolves and Shere Khan are waiting there for him. Most of the wolves there want to kill Mowgli.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Outward appearances can be deceiving.
Explanation:
In the quote, we can see that Frankenstein's monster (if we should call him that) tells us how he is harmless and can even be beneficial (meaning, helpful, useful), but all people choose to see is his appearance rather than what's inside.
Namely, Doctor Frankenstein brought a corpse back to life and thus created his monster. Obviously, a reanimated corpse looks scary and people often cannot see beyond the physical, which is something the monster is lamenting in the quote above. He says that even though he may look like a monster, his characteristics are not monstrous, and that people shouldn't read the book by its cover (in other words, outward appearances can be deceiving).
Based on the excerpt, the statement that best strengthens Feldman´s claim that people are mostly honest is b. Feldman´s payment system was largely successful. His payment system is based on honesty, because he leaves the bagels and a cash basket in which anyone who took a bagel would leave cash, even if people could take a bagel and not pay, or even take money out of the basket, that did not happen. As he says "it was an honor-system commerce scheme, and it worked."
