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

  1. She can no longer reach the key on the table. - This indicates that Alice's size has decreased to the point where she is unable to access objects that were previously within her reach, suggesting she is now quite small.

The other options do not directly indicate Alice's height:

  • She drops the fan that was making her shrink. - This illustrates an action related to her size change but does not provide evidence of her current height.
  • A mouse first appears the size of a walrus or a hippopotamus. - This is a comparison of the mouse's size, which contrasts with Alice's size but does not serve as direct evidence of her own height.
  • She can hear and understand the mouse talking. - While this shows her ability to interact with other characters, it doesn’t give any insight into her physical size.

Based on this analysis, the correct piece of evidence supporting Alice's small size is that she can no longer reach the key on the table.
