Which line from the passage best supports your answer to Part A?

Question

A."They told me that this town had set an example to all England in the matter of economy."
B."What! You mean to tell me that when the lives of the gallant fellows in our trenches, and the fate of the British Empire, depend on our keeping up the supply of shells, you are wasting money on sweeping the streets?"
C."Beamish, it's an ill bird that fouls its own nest."
D."Our gallant fellows are dying in the trenches; and you want a rise!"

Answer 1

To determine which line best supports an answer related to the importance of prioritizing resources and addressing urgent needs during a crisis, option B would be the most fitting. It emphasizes the necessity of focusing on critical wartime efforts and highlights the absurdity of wasting resources on less essential tasks when lives are at stake.
