Read the excerpt from "the crab that played with the sea.” now, while the two were talking together, pau amma the crab, who was next in the game, scuttled off sideways and stepped into the sea, saying to himself, ‘i will play my play alone in the deep waters, and i will never be obedient to this son of adam.’ nobody saw him go away except the little girl-daughter where she leaned on the man’s shoulder. and the play went on till there were no more animals left without orders, and the eldest magician wiped the fine dust off his hands and walked about the world to see how the animals were playing. which conclusion about pau amma does this excerpt support? he likes swimming. he is afraid of humans. he thinks he is better than other animals. he enjoys spending time with other animals.

Option C. The excerpt supports the conclusion that Pau Amma the crab thinks he is better than other animals.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, as in the rest of the story, the character of Pau Amma the crab is depicted as an animal that does not want to follow neither what the rest of the animals are doing or what the man orders him to do. When all the animals are playing the game the magician told them to play, Pau Amma gets impatient and decides to get into the sea by himself, and to separate from the group. This is used to show how the crab thinks he is better than the rest, more important and in power control of the situation.

the correct answer is c. he thinks he is better than other animals.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
