Question

Which line from the passage best supports the theme that patience is a virtue?

line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4

Answer 1

Line 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Line 4 states that our subject is 'slow and steady', implying that he has patience, and then describes the positive results of his scrupulous work: 'the issues have been solved and the car is running smoothly again'. The subject is able to reap the fruits of his labor, thus demonstrating that patience is a virtue.

The other sentences describe his engagement with his task in a more neutral way. In line 1, there is no mention of patience, only of his absorption in his task. In lines 2 and 3, the meticulous nature of his approach is described. Only in line 4 is the 'virtue' aspect of patience revealed.

Answer 2

line1 because he really showing patience he said tunes in to his task like it's the only thing on planet
