What is a quotation?
The complete question is: Which quotation from "The Story of the Fisherman” in The Arabian Nights Entertainments supports the theme that cleverness trumps anger?
- “Having such a bad haul, when he had mended his nets, which the carcass had broken in several places, he threw them a second time.”
- “‘O Fortune,’ he cried, ‘do not trifle thus with me, a poor fisherman, who can hardly support his family!’”
- “At last, I grew angry at being captive for so long, and I vowed that if anyone would release me I would kill him at once.”
- “That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? I cannot believe it unless I see you do the thing.”
A quotation is a phrase or words that present the thoughts and ideas of another person. In the story, the quotation from the fisherman supports the theme as he could not believe that the vase can fit the entire body.
Here the fisherman shows cleverness when he asks the genie to show him how he fitted himself in the vase as he could not believe him until he shows him. As soon as Genie enters the vase the fishermen close the lid.
Therefore, in option D. the fishermen do not believe until the genie showed him how to fit into the vase.
