Question

select the quotation from the story that most strongly suggests that the theme is be honest, even when it doesn’t benefit you. he knew that the longer he put off dropping out of the play, the more he would hurt the rest of the cast and crew. \but dont forget to audition again next year,\ she added with a wink. he didnt have the heart to tell them that it was all for nothing because he couldnt even be in the play.

Explanation:

To determine which quotation suggests the theme "Be honest, even when it doesn't benefit you", we analyze each option:

• The first quotation is about the impact of dropping out on others, not honesty.
• The second quotation is about not forgetting an audition, irrelevant to the theme.
• The third quotation: He couldn't tell them it was for nothing (being honest) even though he wouldn't be in the play (no benefit to him), matching the theme.

Answer:

He didn't have the heart to tell them that it was all for nothing because he couldn't even be in the play.
