Question 15 • Common Core ELA 7 A-IC

Which excerpt from “My Lord Bag of Rice” supports the cultural value that one should help others without expecting payment in return?

Answer

Then Hidesato called to the Dragon King to come out with him on the balcony, for the centipede was dead and he had nothing more to fear.

Hidesato did not want to accept all these presents, but as the Dragon King insisted, he could not well refuse.

The Dragon King himself accompanied the warrior as far as the bridge, and then took leave of him with many bows and good wishes.

As soon as the Dragon King's retainers had put down the presents they vanished, and Hidesato told all that had happened to him.

Explanation

Choice B best supports the value of helping without expecting payment. Hidesato initially did not want to accept the Dragon King’s presents, suggesting he had helped without seeking a reward. Choice C shows the Dragon King expressing gratitude, but B most clearly shows Hidesato’s reluctance to receive payment.
