Answer 1

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

1. She can no longer reach the key on the table. - This suggests that her size has decreased significantly, making it difficult for her to access objects that were once within her reach.

2. A mouse first appears the size of a walrus or a hippopotamus. - This comparison implies that Alice, in contrast, is quite small, as the mouse is described in terms of large animals, indicating her reduced size in relation to other beings in Wonderland.

The options can help illustrate Alice's minuscule size in the context of her surroundings.
