which of the following inferences about darzee is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 79)?
darzee was a feather - brained little fellow who could never hold more than one idea at a time in his head. and just because he knew that nagainas children were born in eggs like his own, he didnt think at first that it was fair to kill them. but his wife was a sensible bird, and she knew that cobras eggs meant young cobras later on. so she flew off from the nest and left darzee to keep the babies warm, and continue his song about the death of nag. darzee was very like a man in some ways.
a. darzee is not careful enough with his children.
b. the relationship between darzee and his mate is very difficult.
c. darzee always protects cobras, no matter the species.
d. darzee lives by strategy and compassion, just like a human being.

Explanation:

The passage describes Darzee as having a one - track mind initially but also shows he can be involved in tasks like keeping the babies warm. Option A is not supported as there's no indication of lack of care for his children. Option B about the relationship with his mate is not the main focus. Option C is too extreme as he didn't initially see the danger in the cobra eggs. Option D is correct as it aligns with the description of him being like a man in some ways, showing strategy and concern.

Answer:

D. Darzee lives by strategy and concern, just like a human being.
