Question

Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“It was a glorious victory, wasn’t it?” said the White Knight, as he came up panting.

“I don’t know,” Alice said doubtfully. “I don’t want to be anybody’s prisoner. I want to be a Queen.”

“So you will, when you’ve crossed the next brook,” said the White Knight. “I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood—and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move.”

“Thank you very much,” said Alice. “May I help you off with your helmet?” It was evidently more than he could manage by himself; however, she managed to shake him out of it at last.

“Now one can breathe more easily,” said the Knight, putting back his shaggy hair with both hands, and turning his gentle face and large mild eyes to Alice. She thought she had never seen such a strange-looking soldier in all her life.

What do the details in the excerpt show about the relationship between Alice and the White Knight?

Alice wants the White Knight to always protect her.
The White Knight wants to protect Alice.
The White Knight does not want Alice to become a Queen.
Alice is afraid of the White Knight.

Answer 1

The White Knight wants to protect Alice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can conclude this answer from the statement

“I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood—and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move.”

White Knight will protect Alice as long as possible, but knows his limitations.

Answer 2

Answer: The white knight wants to protect Alice.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my answer because if you go back into the passage the white knight says " So you will, when you’ve crossed the next brook I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move." He is taking her to the end where he knows she is gonna be safe and then he is going to turn around and head back home once he knows she is safe.
