Question

question 4 of 10
read this scenario:

a boy laughs and dances around while he rakes the leaves in his yard. when his friends come along, he tells them how much fun he is having and invites them to join in. later, the boy is sitting on the porch drinking lemonade and his friends are raking the yard.

what cultural value does this story seem to be showing?

a. working with friends is important.

b. children should be responsible for cleaning the yard.

c. work must be done with a positive attitude.

d. cleverness is often rewarded.

Explanation:

The boy frames a chore as fun to get his friends to do it for him, then relaxes while they work. This shows his cleverness leads to a reward (avoiding the work while it gets done). Option A is incorrect because the boy is not working with friends. Option B is irrelevant as the story does not focus on children's responsibility for yard work. Option C is a surface detail; the positive attitude is a tactic, not the core value shown.

Answer:

D. Cleverness is often rewarded.
