Comparing Fiction and Nonfiction

Question 2 • FL-1700370-Critical Thinking and Study Skills

Which detail best supports the theme that it is best to approach life with a positive attitude?

Answer

"'Of course it would be raining!' said Edmund."

"Ten to one it’ll clear up in an hour or so. And in the meantime we’re pretty well off."

"They had just finished their breakfast with the Professor."

"…upstairs in the room he had set apart for them—a long, low room with two windows looking out in one direction and two in another."

Explanation

The detail in B shows someone responding hopefully to the rain: they predict it will clear soon and focus on being comfortable in the meantime. That positive outlook best supports the theme of approaching life with a positive attitude. Edmund’s complaint in A shows the opposite response.
