Read the excerpt from "Aunty Misery.”Many years passed, and there were no deaths in the world. The people who make their living from death began to protest loudly. The doctors claimed no one bothered to come in for examinations or treatments anymore, because they did not fear dying; the pharmacists' business suffered too because medicines are, like magic potions, bought to prevent or postpone the inevitable; priests and undertakers were unhappy with the situation also, for obvious reasons. There were also many old folks tired of life who wanted to pass on to the next world to rest from miseries of this one.This excerpt expresses which symbolic message found in the allegorical folktale?
Answer
A
Death can strengthen business.
B
Death can be easily prevented.
C
Death is an important part of life.
D
Death is something frightening.
Explanation
The excerpt shows that when death disappears, doctors, pharmacists, priests, and undertakers lose important parts of their work, and some elderly people feel ready to die. This suggests that death is a natural and meaningful part of life, not something that can simply be removed without consequences. The symbolic message is “Death is an important part of life.”
