part b
click on the set of sentences from the text that best supports your answer in part a. choose one option.
it was no use. there is no going back in pleasure. \bother!\ said toad. he

Explanation:

Part A

To determine the best inference about Toad, we analyze each option. Option A suggests Toad gives up easily on difficult tasks. If the text (part of which is shown: "It was no use. There is no going back in pleasure. 'Bother!' said Toad.") implies he abandons efforts when things get tough, this fits. Option B about intelligence/education has no text support. Option C about optimism contradicts the frustrated tone ("Bother!"). Option D about writing compulsion has no text basis here. So A is the best inference.

The inference in Part A (Toad gives up easily) is supported by text showing him abandoning an attempt (e.g., "It was no use... 'Bother!' said Toad") as he stops trying when facing difficulty, matching the idea of giving up on difficult tasks.

Answer:

A. Toad gives up on difficult tasks easily.

Part B

(Note: Since the full text options for Part B aren't fully visible, but based on the given snippet "It was no use. There is no going back in pleasure. 'Bother!' said Toad." which shows Toad abandoning an effort (matching the inference in Part A that he gives up easily), the supporting sentences would likely be this set. Assuming the options include this or similar text showing his quick abandonment of a task, the answer would be the option with these/related sentences. For example, if one option is "It was no use. There is no going back in pleasure. 'Bother!' said Toad." that's the supporting text.)
