Heres The passage
The Farmer and the Well
A farmer, who was looking for a source of water for his farm, bought a small part of the land in his neighbor's backyard and dug a well. The neighbor was cunning and refused to let the farmer take water from the well.
Upon asking why, he replied, "I sold the land to you, not the water."
The distraught farmer did not know what to do, and he approached Birbal, a clever man and one of the nine officers in Emperor Akbar's court, for a solution.
Emperor Akbar called the farmer and his neighbor and asked the neighbor why he was not letting the farmer draw water from the well. The cunning man said the same thing again, "I sold the land, not the water, so he cannot take my water."
Upon hearing this, Birbal who was present with the emperor, replied, "All that sounds fine to me, but if you have sold the land and the water is yours, then you have no business keeping your water in his well, so you must remove the water or use it all up immediately. If not, the water will belong to the owner of the well."
Realizing that he had been tricked and taught a lesson, the man apologized to the farmer. The farmer thanked Emperor Akbar and Birbal for their help and learned to never fall into such a trap again.
Which of these best summarizes the passage?
A.
A farmer approached Birbal and Emperor Akbar for help to trick his neighbor, and Birbal devised a clever plan to ensure that the farmer got both the well and the water in the well.
B.
When a farmer's neighbor tricked him by not letting him use the water from his own well, the farmer approached Birbal for help, who used the same form of reasoning as the neighbor's, and ensured that the farmer received the water from the well on his land.
C.
A farmer purchased a well from his neighbor, but the neighbor tricked him into believing that the farmer only purchased the well and not the water inside the well.
D.
When a farmer's neighbor tricked him by not letting him use the water from his well, the farmer decided to ask Birbal for help, and Birbal then called the neighbor and the farmer to Emperor Akbar's court to find out what went wrong.

Me which theme is developed by the changing relationship between the narrator and his daughter in this excerpt ? as she grew older, she spent more of her time with girls. so much time indeed did she spend with them that she came no more, as she used to do, to her fatherβs room. i was scarcely on speaking terms with her. when mini and her father stop communicating, it develops the theme that children should not speak unless spoken to. as mini becomes more independent, it develops the theme that parents must learn to let go as their children grow up. as mini spends more time with friends, it develops the theme that young people are more influenced by peers than by parents. when mini and her father see each other far less often, it develops the theme that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
