This excerpt comes from the story “<u><em>The Crab that Played by the Sea”</em></u> written by Rudyard Kipling. It is a fable to teach children about the origin of life.
Question: Which evidence best supports the conclusion that the narrator is telling this story with a particular child in mind?
Answer: D. “Pau Amma’s babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!”
<span>“…and although it was considered a sin for a man and woman to exchange words in the sacred temple, he spoke to her, again making known his love.”</span>
The speaker feels as if it tragic and this is being shown the exaggeration and use of a hyperbole.
Answer:
C-Abraham Lincoln. The verb was home and you is not a subject, and the subject was Abraham Lincoln and since that was one of the answer choices, C is correct.
