do what you can

1 there was once a farmer who had a large field of corn that he harrowed and weeded with the greatest care, for he wanted to sell the corn and buy good things for his family with the money. but after he had worked hard, he saw the corn wither and droop, for no rain fell, and he began to fear that he was to have no crop. he felt very sad, and every morning he went out to the field and looked at the thirsty stalks and wished for the rain to fall.

2 one day, as he stood looking up at the sky, two little raindrops saw him, and one said to the other, \look at that farmer! i feel very sorry for him. he took such pains with his field of corn, and now it is drying up. i wish i might help him.\

3 \yes,\ said the other, \but you are only a little raindrop. what can you do? you cant wet even one hill.\

what is the most likely reason the author includes this illustration?

○ to highlight that anansi is about to escape from the bubble

○ to show that anansi is floating high in the bubble

○ to hint that anansi is worried that the hungry fish may eat him

○ to suggest that no one can see where anansi has gone

Explanation:

La pregunta trata sobre la razón del autor al incluir una ilustración (aunque la ilustración no se muestra, se infiere del contexto de la historia de Anansi). Sin embargo, revisando las opciones, la opción que más sentido tiene en un contexto de literatura (subcampo de Artes) sería la que se alinee con la trama. Pero como la ilustración no está, pero suponiendo que la ilustración muestre a Anansi en la burbuja, la opción "To show that Anansi is floating high in the bubble" (Mostrar que Anansi está flotando alto en la burbuja) es la más probable para mostrar su situación en la burbuja.

Answer:

B. To show that Anansi is floating high in the bubble (suponiendo las opciones con identificadores A, B, C, D; si la opción es la segunda, se indica con su texto y identificador adecuado)
