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

"I should see the garden far better,” said Alice to herself, "if I could get to the top of that hill: and here's a path that leads straight to it – at least, no, it doesn't do that –” (after going a few yards along the path, and turning several sharp corners), "but I suppose it will at last. But how curiously it twists! It's more like a corkscrew than a path! Well, this turn goes to the hill, I suppose – no, it doesn't! This goes straight back to the house! Well then, I'll try it the other way.”

And so she did: wandering up and down, and trying turn after turn, but always coming back to the house, do what she would. Indeed, once, when she turned a corner rather more quickly than usual, she ran against it before she could stop herself.

Based on the excerpt, which statement expresses a possible thesis about the text?

As Alice begins her journey through the Looking-Glass land, she loses her way, because she needs to go backward.
Maybe if Alice were from the Looking-Glass land rather than the real world, she would not keep getting lost.
Alice needs to understand that traveling in the Looking-Glass land is very different from traveling in the real world.
Because Alice is an outsider, she has many difficulties navigating through and understanding the rules of the Looking-Glass land.

I believe the correct answer is the last statement. "Because Alice is an outsider, she has many difficulties navigating through and understanding the rules of the Looking-Glass land."
