Question

Which quotation from Matilda by Roald Dahl shows Miss Honey's commitment to teaching? "I myself," Miss Honey went on, "want to help you to learn as much as possible while you are in this class. That is because I know it will make things easier for you later on." "What about something much harder, like two times four hundred and eighty-seven? Could you tell me that?" "But of course multiplying by two is a lot easier than some of the bigger numbers. What about the other multiplication tables? Do you know any of those?" "Don't worry, Lavender, you'll soon catch up," Miss Honey said, lying through her teeth.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Explanation: "I myself," Miss Honey went on, "want to help you to learn as much as possible while you are in this class. That is because I know it will make things easier for you later on."

Answer 2

"I myself," Miss Honey went on, "want to help you to learn as much as possible while you are in this class. That is because I know it will make things easier for you later on."

The second and third options are lessons Miss Honey is giving. While they demonstrate Miss Honey as a teacher, they do not show her commitment to teaching. The fourth option actually shows the opposite. Miss Honey's lie does not show her commitment to teaching. The first option is best because she says that she wants "to help [them] learn as much as possible."
