Read the following excerpt from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and answer the question that follows.
-
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”
-
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stu. pid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
-
There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!”
-
Based on the point of view presented in the excerpt, what does the reader know that Alice’s sister doesn’t know?
-
A.) White rabbits can speak.
-
B.) Alice is getting carried away in her imagination.
-
C.) Hot weather makes people of any age feel restless.
-
D.) Books without pictures are for children like Alice.
