Question

Which word or words best helps you understand the meaning of the word obedient?

The obedient child always followed her mother's requests. That night, she brushed her teeth, folded her clothes, and went to bed before her mother had to come in and remind her.


Question 5 options:


That night



Followed her mother's requests



Brushed her teeth



Folded her clothes

Answer 1

“Followed her mother’s requests.”

This is the child being obedient to her mother. While the options “folded her clothes” and “brushed her teeth” are appealing, she could have done those things in her own as well. Following her mothers requests is blatant obedience since she is obeying what her mother requested of her. I hope this helped you! :D
