Question

excerpt from story the storyteller. at the end of the first act, she was always truthful, did her lessons, kept her clothes clean, ate milk puddings as though they were jam tarts, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners. was she pretty? asked the bigger of the small girls. not as pretty as any of you, said the bachelor, but she was horribly good. there was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. it seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunts tales of infant life. how does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme that culture can limit our thinking? it indicates that the aunts portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing. it shows that children and adults have opposing perspectives on what goodness is. it characterizes the children as eager to accept any viewpoint that disagrees with their aunts. it satirizes the bachelors conception of goodness by comparing it to the one in the aunts story.

Explanation:

To answer this, one must analyze how the under - lined sentence relates to the theme of culture limiting thinking. By examining the context of the story elements like the aunt's portrayal, children's reactions, and the bachelor's view, we can determine its contribution. If the aunt's view is seen as a product of cultural norms and the children or others react in a way that challenges or shows the limitations of that view, it helps support the theme.
