Read the passage from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation."

They came from very different backgrounds - the Shears were Jewish, he was Christian - but an affectionate bond developed between them.

Which quotation from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has a similar central idea?

A) "This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids."

B) "He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once."

C) "I tell you this is the sort of house where no one's going to mind what we do. Anyway, they won't hear us."

D) "Mrs. Macready and the visitors were still talking in the passage; but luckily they never came into the empty room and so the children weren't caught."

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an exceptional book published on 16 October 1950. The story is about four children who are taken out of London to avoid the Blitz and went to live with a professor in his large house. Living there, they discovered a wardrobe that led to a secret passageway to Narnia.

Similarly, in 1941 children were taken out of East London to escape the effects of World War II. These children came from different families and consolidated with one another in times of need.

The theme of the book and real-life events has striking similarities. The children in the book bond with another world to escape the realities of life while, the wartime children made friendships with each other to ease their frustration.

I believe the quotation that has a similar central idea is:

B) "He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once."

Explanation:

Let's first take a look at the quotation from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation":

They came from very different backgrounds - the Shears were Jewish, he was Christian - but an affectionate bond developed between them.

Notice that this passage is describing the bond that formed between different people during a difficult time. Jewish and Christians are developing and affectionate relationship in this excerpt. If we look at the quotation B from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", the idea is basically the same:

B) "He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once."

Again, we have different people - children and an old man - developing an affectionate relationship during a difficult period. The children like the man, even though he is much older and sort of strange.

Both passages seem to show how people can develop connections at dire times, and how those connections are powerful enough to overcome the differences.
