Question

Which of the following is the strongest enticement for Sylvia to lead the young man to where she has seen the white heron?

• A. Her grandmother's failing health.
• B. Her respect for the young man's good intentions toward the heron.
• C. Her fear that the young man might take her away from her familiar surroundings.
• D. His promise of financial reward.
• E. His loyalty to all the wild creatures of the region.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

His promise of financial reward.

The strongest enticement for Sylvia was the money the young man promised them. "The young man's kind appealing eyes are looking straight on her own. He can make them rich with money" - these lines from the second para support our answer D.

Rest of the options are unrelated to the passage.
