Answer:
"Till at last there was only one small fish left in all the sea, and he was a small 'Stute Fish, and he swam a little behind the Whale's right ear, so as to be out of harm's way. Then the Whale stood up on his tail and said, 'I'm hungry."
Explanation:
The part of the excerpt that best demonstrates that the author's purpose is to entertain children with a humorous story is the second one.
We have two animals that speak to each other as if they were people. Both of them could be amusing to children - one is a small fish, and the other is a big hungry whale that can stand on its tail. The story also has a rhythm, which makes the story more dynamic and interesting to children.
The most appropriate choice is A
The correct answer is A.
The statement that best summarizes the author's ideas is:
"
The differences between men and women allow them to balance one another, and they should be considered as equal as they are in nature.
"
The author explains that men and women are, indeed, different, and that because of that, they complement one another. However, the author supports the idea that, just because they are different in some aspects, it doesn't mean that men and women should not be treated equally since "the male and female tree and vine and shrub rejoice in the same sunshine and shade".
