An old monkey on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered them to bring in a
bundle of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break the sticks. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the bundle," said the father, "and each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them: "Now, break," and each stick was easily broken. "You see my meaning," said their father.
What was the father’s meaning? _______________________________
He teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.
Explanation:
Having bound a bundle of sticks together (or in other accounts either spears or arrows), he asks his sons to break them. When they fail, he undoes the bundle and either breaks each stick singly or gets his sons to do so. In the same way he teaches them, though each can be overcome alone, they are invincible combined.
The use of on the other hand, also, and in other words, are c. They transition to another thought. These words are usually used in transitioning sentences to begin a new thought!
