Which excerpt from Chapter IV of Alice in Wonderland reflects the theme that sometimes people are more powerful than they think?

By this time, Alice had found her way into a tidy little room with a table in the window, and on it a fan and two or three pairs of tiny white kid-gloves.
She trembled till she shook the house, quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as large as the Rabbit and had no reason to be afraid of it.
"He took me for his housemaid!" said Alice, as she ran off. "How surprised he'll be when he finds out who I am!"
It was the White Rabbit, trotting slowly back again and looking anxiously about as it went, as if it had lost something; Alice heard it muttering to itself.

The excerpt that reflects the theme that sometimes people are more powerful than they think is when Alice "trembled till she shook the house, quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as large as the Rabbit and had no reason to be afraid of it." This illustrates Alice's initial feelings of fear despite the fact that her size gives her a clear physical advantage over the Rabbit. It highlights her lack of awareness of her own power in the situation, suggesting that individuals can often underestimate their own strength and influence.
