Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) (05.01 MC)

Read the following excerpts.

Excerpt 1

A proud British lord and lady had taken a trip to Africa with their young infant. They traveled through the jungle exploring different habitats and observing animals. One unfortunate day, their camp was raided by a tribe that did not appreciate that the British were trying to settle in their territory. The tribe chased the baby's parents away, and the baby was left alone. A group of apes could hear the baby crying, and they pitied the poor child. An ape family decided to take the young baby in and raise the baby as their own. Many other chimps and monkeys mocked the ape family for their decision. They claimed that humans were destructive beasts and that one day the child might turn on them. The wild apes ignored the other creatures and felt that if they raised the child with love and care, there should be no reason that they would ever be enemies. They named the child Tarzan. Tarzan grew up thinking that he was no different than the wild apes that raised him. He ate what they ate, and he swung from the trees like they did. He even walked on his knuckles and hooted and called like the wild apes did. For all he knew, the wild apes were his real parents. He lived happily in the love and care of his jungle family.

Excerpt 2

A mother, father, and their infant child lived in a small village in India on the outskirts of the jungle. One day the father had wandered into the jungle with their child but got lost. At nightfall, the father found a cave to hide out in with his small child, but soon a tiger found them hiding in the cave. The father went to defend the child from the tiger, but he got chased back to the village by the tiger, and the baby was left alone. The child howled in the dark, much like wolves do. It didn't take long before a pack of wolves found him in the cave. They instantly fell in love with the small boy, for they felt he was very cute. They decided to raise him as they would a wolf pup. They named him Mowgli. Mowgli grew up loving his jungle life. He made friends with all the animals, except one. The same tiger that had chased his father away now wanted to chase off Mowgli. The tiger warned all the others about the evils of humankind, but the other animals wouldn't listen. They loved Mowgli as one of their own.

What is a similar theme of these two excerpts?

If you show kindness and love to people, they will show kindness and love back.
Once you make an enemy, the person is forever an enemy.
People and animals are different, and they can never share anything in common.
You should never trust those that are different from you.

IM SORRY YOU HAVE TO READ ALL OF THIS LOL.
