This question is from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Explanation:
- Tom finds a new boy, Alfred who is well dressed and looks arrogant. He picks up a quarrel with him saying if he could lick him up. In the beginning it might seem humorous but it eventually leads to a fight between the boys.
- Tom win's the fight and Alfred walks home crying. Once when Tom's back is turned, Alfred throws stone on Tom. Tom chases the Alfred and waits outside his house.
- The fight is to be considered something serious because there was no point except showing once dominance over the other.
In stanza seven, comparing mice and humans, the author Robert Burns suggests that foresight and planning the future can go wrong for everyone, either mice or humans.
However, in the final stanza Burns still considers the mouse fortunate, because it is only aware of the present moment. It is a human attribute to look at the past and to fear what the future has to bring.
Answer:
C. Statement [3]
Explanation:
Statement 3 is the inferential statement in the argument, because from the fact that the Japanese companies make group decisions (which is the main reason given for the efficiency of Japanese companies), it is inferred, by logic, that the Japanese companies do not rely on single individual decisions.
