Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character."Wouldn’t they have saved her if she hadn’t been good?” demanded the bigger of the small girls
Answer
P
Pride goes before a fall.
P
People should try to be good.
I
It is necessary to question authority.
C
Children should be seen and not heard.
Explanation
The bigger girl questions the story’s assumption that the child was rescued because she was good. By asking whether rescuers would have saved her anyway, she challenges the storyteller’s lesson rather than accepting it automatically. This supports “It is necessary to question authority.”
