The story “Hans in Luck” by the Brothers Grimm revolves around the main character’s personality. The character Hans easily believes what others tell him. That means Hans is a gullible person.

Which line in this excerpt from the story supports the idea that Hans is gullible?

Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, “Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go.” And the master said, “You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be handsome.” Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.

Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.

“Ah!” said Hans aloud, “what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how.”

Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, “Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?”

“Ah!” said he, “I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my shoulder sadly.”

“What do you say of making an exchange?” said the horseman. “I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver; which will save you a great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you.”

“With all my heart,” said Hans: “but as you are so kind to me, I must tell you one thing—you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you.”

However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said, “When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry ‘Jip!'”

Through the window where I lie,
And I pretend to be asleep;
But I watch the moon as it goes by,
And it never makes a sound.

To the house that's next to me,
Stealing on its tippy-toes,
To peep at folk asleep maybe;
And it never makes a sound.

B. It describes how the speaker pretends to be the moon every night.

Read the passage from "Stalin: A Brutal Legacy Uncovered,” which is an informational text about Stalin’s atrocities and how he used ambition and fear to rule over people of the Soviet Union.

As Khrushchev informed the closed session of the Party apparatchiks, his report—which has entered history as the "Secret Speech"—was based on research by a special commission of senior leaders of the Communist Party. It covered primarily only one part of Stalin's murderous record: the peak years of his savage "Great Purge" in the mid- and late 1930s, a massacre that wiped out a whole generation of Bolsheviks, the Party's oldest and most faithful members.

Khrushchev, who went on to become the Soviet prime minister, said next to nothing about the rest of Stalin's victims, who have been estimated at more than 20 million.

Stalin's genocidal record was the product of a ruthless, steely personality hardened by searing hardships in his youth: first, brutal beatings by his alcoholic, dirt-poor father; and later, several rounds of imprisonment and exile—from which he often escaped—following his expulsion from a Russian Orthodox seminary for fomenting a strike of railroad workers. For the 20-year-old Stalin, an outstanding student with top marks in Bible and Church studies, the strike was the first step on a new road—a career of rebellion, crime, and radical politics that eventually made him the unquestioned boss of the Communist Party and of 140 million people in the Soviet Union.

What is the purpose of the commentary in the underlined text?

to give evidence of Stalin’s savage murders
to provide examples of Stalin’s genocidal actions
to explain why Stalin became a ruthless murderer
to summarize Stalin’s time as a Communist leader
