Answer 1

Part A

B. to agree

Part B

B. “to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws”

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the passage, what the word "assent" mean as it is used is "to agree". This gives us a clear understanding that the Lion "agreed" to the proposal. Therefore, in Part B, the proposal the Lion agreed to was "“to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws”.

The excerpt reveals that the Father gave a proposal to the Lion who agreed to it. After the proposal was carried out, the Lion was driven into the forest.
