“Why not?” The raven hopped as if to shrug. “I’ll eat anything.”
How does the raven’s comment that he would “eat anything” in paragraph 12 affect
Lala?
A The raven’s comment reminds Lala that she can use her custard as incentive.
B The raven’s comment causes Lala to feel a sense of urgency to find her brother.
C The raven’s comment reminds Lala that her brother is likely cold and hungry.
D The raven’s comment causes Lala to feel concerned and mistrust the raven.
The correct answer is A. The raven's comment reminds Lala that she can use her custard as incentive.
The correct answer is D. The raven's comment causes Lala to feel concerned and mistrust the raven. The statement implies that the raven is willing to eat anything, which raises concerns about whether the raven can be trusted or if it has ulterior motives.
To determine how the raven's comment affects Lala, we need to analyze the context and reasoning behind the options provided.
A) The raven's comment reminds Lala that she can use her custard as incentive.
This option seems unlikely as there is no mention of Lala having custard or needing to incentivize anything.
B) The raven's comment causes Lala to feel a sense of urgency to find her brother.
This option is possible, as the raven's statement of being willing to eat anything may highlight the urgency of finding her brother before something happens to him.
C) The raven's comment reminds Lala that her brother is likely cold and hungry.
This option is also possible, as the raven's willingness to eat anything may remind Lala that her brother, who is missing, could be in a similar situation of being cold and hungry.
D) The raven's comment causes Lala to feel concerned and mistrust the raven.
This option is less likely, as there is no indication that Lala feels concern or mistrust based on the raven's statement.
Considering the given options, options B and C are the most plausible answers. However, without further information or context from the paragraph, it is impossible to determine the exact effect the raven's comment has on Lala.
