Answer 1

I struggled with this one too, I'm actually just about to submit mine. I think the fact that the boy had intended to steal the food , but wouldn't accept from the sailor shows that his hunger overpowered his own thoughts and actions. the author may be saying its okay to accept help. I couldn't help but notice the questions you've asked on your profile are the same ones I've had these past few days in my courses , are you in k12 too? I find it helps to also look at other posts made by other people in the discussion board and get a simple idea of what can be put. I hope this helps, at least a little .
