Question

Which quotation from the passage best supports the theme that looks can be deceiving?

"Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess."
"There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. . . . So he came home again and was sad."
"One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents."
"The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels."

Answer 1

"The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels."

or

"One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one shows the girl in a poor state. One would assume that she is just an ordinary girl in need of help. But it foreshadows that she may be a princess. (More than just an ordinary girl). Looks can be deceiving.

and the second quotation portrays that it is a bad moment in the text because it is grey and raining. "Torrents" has a negative connotation, hinting towards the fact that this kind of weather is sad and depressing and nothing good can possibly come out of it. But looks can be deceiving. The sad prince might find his princess and this sad moment might become a happy one.

Hope this made sense.
