I would say it's A, because like the question stated, his curiosity, tends to overcome his judgement. But the thing about this is that this leads into C, because his curiosity comes before his judgement, so he is risking his life, to be curious...
Hope this helped!! :)
Your gonna have to give us a summary of the selection because we don learn the same things you do. After you explain the summary maybe then we can help you with this question.
A - because an alliteration is a phrase using one letter at the beginning of each multiple words.
If the verb in the independent clause is in the present tense, the tense that the verb in the indirect quotation should be is <span>remain in its original tense.
</span>You don't have to shift tenses because it is present in the independent one.
For example:
He says: "I need to wash my hair."
He says that he needs to wash his hair.
You wouldn't say - he says that he needed to wash his hair.
