Part B which sentence from the passage best supports your answer in part A.

Question

A: the sons hurried out to begin.
B: As the years went by it became cleaver even to their father that the boys were lazy.
C: at last the entire field had been dug but no treasure had been found.
D: the brothers moped around with their heads down

Answer 1

To determine which sentence best supports the answer in part A, we would need to see the answer provided in that part. However, based on the sentences you have shared, if the answer in part A relates to the laziness or lack of motivation of the sons, then the best supporting sentence would be:

B: As the years went by it became clear even to their father that the boys were lazy.

This sentence directly addresses the theme of the boys' laziness, aligning well with a potential interpretation of part A. If you can provide the answer from part A, I can confirm if this is indeed the best supporting sentence.
