In the last four paragraphs of the story - The Fish I Didn't Catch by John Greenleaf Whittier

The narrator brings to a climax an ordeal he had started narrating about when he went fishing with his Uncle as a child.

He had caught a fish using his line because he felt the tension on the line increase. But just as he exclaimed excitedly about how it was that he had caught a fish, his Uncle says to him "not yet".

At that very moment, the tension ceased and his line was gone, and so was the fish.

Then his Uncle highlights an important lesson to him saying, "Never brag about your fish before you catch him"

In the last four paragraphs, he indicates that there are lots of valuable lessons learned in childhood that are very relevant in adulthood. But that it doesn't prevent adults from making mistakes which indicates that they have forgotten those lessons.

This leads to the conclusion that D is the best answer choice.
