Answer 1

The correct response is D) Both B and C.

Gerda's refusal to stay with the prince and princess suggests that she learned to be wary of temporary pleasures, as well as to be cautious of beauty that might distract her from her goals. This reflects the lessons she gained from her experience with the old woman, who used beauty and comfort to keep her from pursuing what was important.
