Answer 1

Part A: A. Dishonesty does not work.

Part B: D. Rabbit’s trickery is uncovered, and he does not get the horns.

Reason: The uncovered trick and Rabbit’s failure show that his dishonest plan backfires, directly supporting the theme that dishonesty fails. Choices A–C describe problems but don’t as clearly show the moral result.
