"And you are almost never right about anything," he said, pointing at the Humbug, "and, when you are, it's usually an accident."
"A gross exaggeration," protested the furious bug, who didn't realize that so much was visible to the naked eye.
Which phrase from the passage helps the reader understand how the Humbug feels about Alec's perspective?
A "never right about anything"
B "usually an accident"
C "protested the furious bug"
D "who didn't realize"
Answers
The correct option to the given question is (c) "protested the furious bug" .
This is because, the passage provides two distinct ideas related to the characters in this scene - Alec and the Humbug. Alec criticises the Humbug for "..never being right about anything..", and also adds that the latter is only right during accidental circumstances. Such a comment regarding an individual definite welcomes anger and annoyance from the listener, hence the "protest" of the "furious" Humbug. This is how option C helps the reader understand the Humbug's feeling towards Alec's perspective.
The other options are not valid because of the following reasons:-
- Option A highlights Alec's criticism of the Humbug, which is not relevant to the question
- Option B is a continuation of Alec's criticism
- Option D is a mere comment from the narrator himself
