Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.” Then Pau Amma thought a little and said, ‘I have made my choice. I wi

ll take all the gifts.’ Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand, with all five fingers of his right hand, and lo and behold, Best Beloved, Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe, crying in a very small voice, ‘Give me the scissors!’ And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts. I can crack shells. I can dig holes. I can climb trees. I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone. I did not know I was so important. Kun?’ (Is this right?) Which sentence from the excerpt best demonstrates the author’s reason for writing? “Then Pau Amma thought a little and said, ‘I have made my choice. I will take all the gifts.’” “Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand, with all five fingers of his right hand, and lo and behold, Best Beloved, Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe, crying in a very small voice, ‘Give me the scissors!’” “And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts.’” “‘I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone.’”

Answer:

“And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts.’”

Explanation:

Kipling's story titled 'The Crab that played with the Sea' primarily discusses the story of a crab and how it is changed from a huge animal to a tiny being through the flow of tides and ebb.

The above statement most clearly reflects the author's key reason for writing. The descriptions like 'picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand', 'waved them in his little arms', etc. reflect that the author aims to inform the readers about the consequences faced by Pau Amma(the monster crab) for causing problems in the sea. It also informs the readers that why crab was converted into a tiny creature from a huge animal. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

What is the main idea of this passage?
KonstantinChe [14]
I think the answer is B. It is not A, for it IS mandatory as it says that in the text. It is not C, because it is not said in the text, and it is an opinion. And it is not D, yet it is true. It has not been spoken of in the text. Therefore, B is your best bet. Hope this helps!
