Question

which sentence from paragraph 13 of the passage suggests that the canister is of great value to count webo?

\the messenger revealed the golden canister and said, i bring this to you, count webo.\

\a stranger passed through ludschou bearing this canister, and we knew you to be the rightful owner.\

\everyone—cooks and maids and soldiers and ministers—were searching for the missing canister.\

\the messenger asked to see the count and was ushered into his presence.\

Explanation:

To determine which sentence suggests the canister is valuable to Count Webo, we analyze each option:

• The first option just states the messenger brings the canister, not its value.
• The second option identifies Count Webo as the rightful owner but doesn't imply value.
• The third option shows that a wide range of people (cooks, maids, soldiers, ministers) were searching for the missing canister. This collective effort across different roles implies the canister is important/valuable, as so many are invested in finding it.
• The fourth option is about the messenger meeting the count, not the canister's value.

Answer:

C. "Everyone—cooks and maids and soldiers and ministers—were searching for the missing canister."
