Question

True Stories from History and Biography

Answer 1

Answer:

B. he believed in serving the public good.

Explanation:

he didn't want to take the stones to do harm to the workers or anyone else. he had no ill will about it. he was trying to help his friends, and as an added benefit, it would help the boaters as well. he saw this as a greater good that would outweigh the small sin of taking the stones in the first place, because he would use them to benefit more than just 1 homeowner. he did a bat thing with good intentions. as a child, him being able to help more people with the same materials would seem like the better thing to do. because why shouldn't we help as many people as we can instead of letting 1 person or a few people have more than they need while others remain stuck in the mud?
