This answer is correct because the speaker in the poem presents both positive and negative statistical data, demonstrating a range of human qualities. The lines "glad to lend a hand" and "always good" highlight positive qualities, while the lines "if it doesn't take too long" and "because they can't be otherwise" show a more realistic perspective of human limitations. The inclusion of both high and low numbers, such as "as high as forty-nine, four, well maybe five," further emphasizes the balanced perspective.
