Answer 1

The pieces of implicit evidence that support the analysis that Alice is only a few inches high in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" are:

1. She drops the fan that was making her shrink. - This suggests that her size is changing, and her ability to drop the fan implies she is now smaller.

2. She can no longer reach the key on the table. - This indicates that her size is reduced to the point where she can't access something that was previously reachable, supporting her diminutive size.

The other two options do not directly support the analysis of Alice's height:

• A mouse first appears the size of a walrus or a hippopotamus. - This detail serves to highlight the relative size differences in Wonderland but does not provide direct evidence of Alice's height.

• She can hear and understand the mouse talking. - Understanding the mouse’s speech does not relate to her physical size.

Therefore, the selected responses are the first and third options.
