Analyze the two excerpts below. What do these excerpts suggest?

from Aesop's fable: "You can be as well-fed as I am if you want to," replied the Dog.

from Baum's story: "Poor dears!" said the kind-hearted knook, "you long to be in the fields and forests again."

A) Aesop relies more heavily on dialogue than Baum.

B) Baum relies more heavily on dialogue than Aesop.

C) Both Aesop and Baum give their animals the ability to speak to let readers know more about the characters.

D) Both Aesop and Baum use figurative language involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind.

The correct answer is C

Prayag is right the answer is C

C) Both Aesop and Baum give their animals the ability to speak to let readers know more about the characters.

Explanation:

Aesop's fable is a collection of fables which are believed to be written by a slave named Aesop.

Baum's story refers to Baum's Ultimate Collection:Complete Wizard of Oz Series

Both excerpts are fables. They employ the usage of animals as main characters and possess abilities to speak and to reason. In Aesop's fable, we see the Dog talking while in Baum's story, we see the knook also talking. As such, we can thus conclude that these excerpts suggest that both Aesop and Baum give their animals the ability to speak to let readers know more about the characters.

Hence, option C is the correct answer
