    c. "The children would crawl deep into the green darkness of the forest during the autumn when dampness drove the mushrooms out of the soil, and almost every family had its own places where it gathered mushrooms, places which were handed down in whispers from generation to generation."

    Explanation:

    In "The Balek Scales," by Heinrich Boll, the sentence that directs attention to children going to the forest to gather mushrooms and mentions that each family "had its own places where it gathered mushrooms," is not related to the story's theme of inequality. Actually, the passage refers to a family tradition which is passed through different age groups.
