The following text is adapted from Mary Shelley's 1821 novel Frankenstein. The creature, who has been cast out of society, secretly spies upon a family who lives in a small cottage in a wooded area.“They were not entirely happy. The young man and his sister often went apart and appeared to weep. I saw no cause for their unhappiness, but I was deeply affected by it. A considerable period elapsed before I discovered the cause of the uneasiness of this amiable family: it was poverty, and they suffered that evil to a very distressing degree. Their nourishment consisted entirely of the vegetables of their garden and the milk of one cow; there was very little to eat during the winter. They often suffered pangs of hunger for several times they placed food before the old man when they reserved none for themselves.“This trait of kindness moved me sensibly. I had been accustomed, during the night, to steal their food for my own consumption, but when I learned that this caused pain to the cottagers, I stopped and satisfied myself with berries, nuts, and roots from a neighboring wood.Based on the text, how does the narrator respond to the family?Elimination ToolSelect one answerAHe feels regret that don't have enough to eat and stops taking their food.BHe is so moved he stops eating their vegetables but continues to take their milk.CHe doesn't understand why the young people give their food to the older man.DHe brings them berries, nuts, and roots from the forest to supplement their diet.
