Answer from: chaseashley24

I believe the answer is indeed letter C) “Horribly” emphasizes the girl’s goodness, but it is normally a negative definition that implies that there is something awful about being so good.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story called "The Story-Teller", by Saki. Three children who are traveling by train with their aunt and misbehaving are forced to listen to their aunt's boring story. She is trying to teach them a moral lesson, but they are not interested. The children wished to be entertained.

A bachelor who is in the same wagon as the aunt and the children begins to tell a story as well. Unlike the aunt, he does wish to entertain the kids and keep them quiet, instead of forcing goodness and morals onto them. So he begins to tell the story of a girl who is "horribly good". The children are very much surprised at this term. They are used to being told stories about good characters, but not about horribly good ones. That is enough to catch their attention. They somehow pick up the underlying meaning that the girl in the story is good to the point of being awful. Being good is not her quality, but her flaw. Therefore, we can safely choose letter C as our answer - C) “Horribly” emphasizes the girl’s goodness, but it is normally a negative definition that implies that there is something awful about being so good.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
