Question

What would Hare MOST LIKELY say to defend himself if he was accused of cheating Bear?

A. He did not cheat Bear because he asked him what part of the plant he wanted.
B. He did not cheat Bear because Bear did not do any of the work himself.
C. He cheated Bear because he wanted to take Bear's crops.
D. He cheated Bear because Bear was not kind to his family.

Answer 1

Hare would defend himself by saying he did not cheat as he followed the agreement terms by letting Bear choose the plant part he wanted.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a story where Hare and Bear make an agreement about the division of crops, and if Hare is accused of cheating Bear, Hare would most likely defend himself by saying A. He did not cheat Bear because he asked him what part of the plant he wanted. This defense would imply that Hare had made the terms of the agreement clear and that Bear had made his choice knowing what part of the plant he would receive. If there was a loophole that Hare exploited, he might argue that it was within the rules agreed upon and therefore not cheating.
