Read the excerpt from Holes.

"You are to dig one hole each day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Each hole must be five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction. Your shovel is your measuring stick. Breakfast is served at 4:30."

Stanley must have looked surprised, because Mr. Sir went on to explain that they started early to avoid the hottest part of the day. "No one is going to baby sit you," he added. "The longer it takes you to dig, the longer you will be out in the sun. If you dig up anything interesting, you are to report it to me or any other counselor. When you finish, the rest of the day is yours."

What does this dialogue tell you about Mr. Sir? HURRYYYY

A) that he can be strict
B) that he can be funny
C) that he can be cruel
D) that he can be calm

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though he does seem to care for his workers, he's very strict about the time of day they eat and how big the holes have to be. (I've seen this movie AND read the book so you can trust my answers)
