"The Fox and the Grapes" from Aesop's Fables (adapted)
One hot summer's day, a Fox was strolling through an orchard until he came to a bunch of Grapes that had just been ripening on a vine, which
had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," the Fox had stated to himself after pondering how long it had been
since he had something to drink. The run, which seemed to last an eternity when you are already tired, proved to be unsuccessful, because just
as he jumped, he missed the bunch. The Fox, who always had had great confidence in his abilities, jumped with all his strength, but he had no
success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsels, but at last he had given up and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am
sure they are sour."
Which statement best describes the symbolism in the text?
OA. The lofty branch represents wealth and riches.
OB. The Fox represents one who is goal orientated.
OC. The sour grapes represent a negative attitude.
