Which detail BEST supports the idea that the Scarecrow is intelligent?

He tells the lion that oz can help him, too

He asks the lion whether he has any brains

he wishes that his head was not stuffed with straw

he is the only person who puts oil on the tinman's jaw

C

I don't think that's correct, him wishing his head was not stuffed with straw does not prove he is intelligent.

Perhaps you have another answer?

Yes.

I believe the answer is A

The detail that BEST supports the idea that the Scarecrow is intelligent is:

"He tells the lion that Oz can help him, too."

To reach this answer, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the options carefully and identify the details that refer to the Scarecrow's intelligence.
2. Eliminate the options that do not directly relate to intelligence.
3. Compare the remaining options that mention intelligence.
4. Analyze each option and select the one that provides the strongest evidence of intelligence.

In this case, the option "He tells the lion that Oz can help him, too" demonstrates the Scarecrow's intelligence because he is able to think critically and apply his own experience with Oz to suggest that the lion can also seek help from Oz. This indicates that the Scarecrow has the ability to understand and offer solutions, showcasing his intelligence.
