d. All the above
Answers
Answer: Option b. It couldn’t talk
Explanation:
Aunt Ruby wanted to own a parrot and teach her to talk. She bought a parrot from a bird-catcher who used to sell birds of different species in her locality. Aunt Ruby tried hard to teach the bird to talk but she failed in every attempt of hers.
The bird was not so fond of Aunt and on one occasion even knocked off the specks of Aunt`s nose. This made Aunt a bit hostile towards the parrot. She started taunting, making faces and even passed bad comments at the bird.
One day during afternoon when everyone was inside the house and enjoying a siesta, the parrot after having its lunch flew away by taking advantage of the loose door of the cage.
Aunt Ruby was very sad to find the bird escape from the cage. She was adamant to buy one more but her Grandfather calmed her down by offering her to buy a bowl of goldfish.
Aunt Ruby was in no mood to settle for a goldfish as it could not talk like the parrot.
Hope this helps.
