To determine which part of the story helps readers understand how an animal can behave like a person, let's analyze each option:
A) "What's that he's hunting I asked pointing to what looks like an elephant on fire" – This sentence suggests an animal in a hunting context, but it does not explicitly indicate anthropomorphic behavior.
B) "And that one’s my father he was pointing at the largest tiger." – This personifies the tiger as a familial figure, implying a relationship, which could indicate more human-like traits.
C) "He had a bigger head and a pair of huge white things that hooked over his bottom lip as thick as horns with points like freshly dripped icicles." – This describes the physical characteristics of an animal, but it does not convey any behavior or personality traits.
D) "On the Walls were pictures of Tigers hunting buffaloes tigers hunting crocodiles hunting antelopes." – This shows animals engaged in hunting, which is a natural behavior, but it does not clarify that the animals exhibit human-like behavior.
Based on this analysis, **B** is the best option as it personifies the tiger by referring to it as "my father," which suggests familial bonds and relationships similar to human behavior, thereby helping readers understand how the animal can behave like a person.
