Question

Which sentence could you cite from the passage as evidence that the older brothers picked on their younger brother, Youngling?
A) "King George also desired a well large enough to hold ample water."
B) "Once upon a time there was a man who fathered three sons: Peter, Paul, and Youngling."
C) "'Oh, you're such a child. Go ahead and look. Maybe you’ll finally learn a lesson,' cried out his brothers."
D) "Many men came to try their luck; but all their hacking and hewing, all their digging and delving, were fruitless."

Answer 1

C. This quote, giving dialogue from the brothers themselves, shows the reader how they treated their brother Youngling. When someone older calls someone a "child", usually it is said with taunting or making fun of that person, also the use of the word "finally" shows that they don't think Youngling has ever really learned anything. 

Answer 2

Answer:

C) "'Oh, you're such a child. Go ahead and look. Maybe you’ll finally learn a lesson,' cried out his brothers.
