Question

which line best shows that the king was delighted by the page’s remark about the princess?
a. the king’s son was going to be married, so there were general rejoicings.
b. when the three days were over the marriage was celebrated.
c. “she was like a white rose,” said a young page to his neighbor.
d. and the king gave orders that the page’s salary was to be doubled.

Explanation:

To determine which line shows the King's delight from the Page's remark, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Discusses the King's son's marriage and general rejoicings, not related to the King's delight from the Page's remark.
• Option B: Talks about the marriage celebration after three days, not about the King's reaction to the Page's remark.
• Option C: Is the Page's remark about the Princess, not the King's reaction.
• Option D: The King doubling the Page's salary is a positive action showing his delight (likely from the Page's favorable remark about the Princess).

Answer:

D. And the King gave orders that the Page’s salary was to be doubled.
