Question 23 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which quotation from “Sugihara” best reflects the play’s theme?

Answer
A
“Even a hunter cannot kill a bird that comes to him seeking safety."
B
A wrought-iron fence surrounds the park. On its gate hangs a sign: "No Jews Allowed.”
C
"The Foreign Ministry is opposed to hundreds of foreigners passing through Japan for reasons of public safety."
D
"Soviets have annexed Lithuania. Close consulate. Return home immediately."

Explanation

The play’s theme centers on compassion and helping people in danger, even when doing so is difficult or against the rules. The image of a hunter refusing to kill a bird that comes to him for safety expresses that mercy directly, so choice A best reflects the theme. The other quotations describe persecution, official opposition, or an order to leave, rather than stating the play’s compassionate message.
