Question

why does the story end without revealing newts mark?
newt and the reader already have an idea about what his mark will mean.
newt has not settled on an image in his mind, so his mark cannot be known.
although newt knows the mark he wants, he hasnt been able to tell anyone.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: If Newt and the reader already have an idea of what his Mark means, the story doesn't need to explicitly reveal it as the implication is clear.
• Option 2: If Newt hadn't settled on an image, the story would likely hint at his uncertainty, but the question is about why it ends without revealing, and this option focuses on his lack of decision rather than the reader's or his understanding.
• Option 3: The idea that he knows but can't tell anyone doesn't align with typical narrative choices where the lack of reveal is due to shared understanding rather than an inability to communicate.

So the most logical reason is that Newt and the reader already have an idea about what his Mark will mean.

Answer:

A. Newt and the reader already have an idea about what his Mark will mean.
