Answer 2

Answer:

A. " . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."

Explanation:

'Tiger-Tiger' is a part of the collective stories in 'The Jungle Book' written by Rudyard Kipling. In this story, Mowgli leaves the jungle and decides to go live in human society, after driving the Sher Khan out of the jungle. When Mowgli comes to a village, he gets adopted by a wealthy family, who lost their son.

The theme that the rules of society don't benefit the needs of the individual is developed in option A. Mowgli is a jungle boy, brought up by a wolf pack in jungle, now he lives among human, his own kind, but, in both cases Mowgli remained an outcast. In jungle he was weak among the animals and the beast, but among humans he proved to be as strong as a bull.

In the statement, in option A, the narrator describes how the rules of society didn't fit Mowgli. When he was in jungle he learned to control his temperament. But when children made fun of him, he wanted to break them in two pieces.

Therefore, option A is correct.
