Select the correct text in the passage.
The story "Hans in Luck" by the Brothers Grimm revolves around the main character's personality. The character Hans easily believes what
others tell him. That means Hans is a gullible person.
Which line in this excerpt from the story supports the idea that Hans is gullible?
Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, "Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once
more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go." And the master said, "You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be
handsome." Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.
Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he
went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.
"Ahl" said Hans aloud, "what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his
fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how."
Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, "Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?"
“Ah!" said he. "I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my
shoulder sadly."
"What do you say of making an exchange?" said the horseman. “I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver, which will save you a
great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you."
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about
with you."
However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said,
"When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry Jip!"

Question 4 (1 point)

Read the following paragraph and answer the question below.

1Wuthering Heights is in the midst of the desolate English moors. 2Outside the gates of this solitary dwelling, the landscape expands into dreary shades of brown and gray, with only the craggy cliffs on the distant horizon to break the monotony. 3Wildlife and foliage are scarce. 4The few trees that do live must eke out their existence: the north wind blows constantly. 5The house itself, built to withstand the tumults of wind and rain, is cold and forbidding. 6The stone walls and earthen floors offer no relief from the bone-chilling dampness of northern England. 7In sharp contrast to Wuthering Heights is Thrushcross Grange. 8Situated in a sheltered valley, Thrushcross Grange is calm and peaceful, and is surrounded by lush flower gardens. 9The refined elegance of Thrushcross Grange differs as much from Wuthering Heights as the rose differs from the thorn. 10The contrast between these two settings is symbolic of the ultimate conflicts in Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights.
