from a chance in the world
by steve pemberton
the author justifies deception and stealing by -
① explaining that he used dishonest methods to cope with the robinsons abuse
② suggesting that his young age excused him from responsibility for his actions
③ saying that it was the only way to attract the robinsons attention
④ emphasizing how he thoughtfully planned his schemes

Explanation:

En el texto se menciona que el autor justifica las acciones de los Robinsons. La opción ① dice "explaning that he used deception and stealing by", lo cual significa que el autor está explicando (no justificando) métodos deshonestos. La opción ② "suggesting that he used deception and stealing by" implica una sugerencia, no una justificación. La opción ③ "saying that his young age excused him from responsibility for his actions" es decir que el autor dice que la juventud los exime de responsabilidad, lo cual es una justificación. La opción ④ "emphasizing how he thought through his schemes" es enfatizar cómo pensó, no justificar.

Answer:

③.
