Question

Which of the following inferences about Darzee is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 79)?

Darzee was a feather-brained little fellow who could never hold more than one idea at a time in his head. And just because he knew that Nagaina’s children were born in eggs like his own, he didn’t think at first that it was fair to kill them. But his wife was a sensible bird, and she knew that cobra’s eggs meant young cobras later on. So she flew off from the nest, and left Darzee to keep the babies warm, and continue his song about the death of Nag. Darzee was very like a man in some ways.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage suggests that Darzee is a feather-brained individual who can only hold one idea at a time in his head. He initially doesn't think it's fair to kill Nagaina's children because he knows they are born in eggs, just like his own babies. However, his sensible wife understands that cobra's eggs will eventually hatch into young cobras, posing a threat. She leaves Darzee to keep the babies warm while she deals with the eggs. Despite Darzee's lack of reasoning initially, the passage also implies that he has some human-like qualities.
