Assignment task: The Last Curiosity
Which of the following excerpts from the text provides the best evidence to support the argument that the Woken's behavior began to change once they were in their artificial bodies?
A. "As the starting moment approached, we could feel the impulse building within us. And then it was there: at once, we flowed into these flesh suits." (Paragraph 7)
B. "Their bodies were tensed in human expressions of anger. Pinched brows, heavy breathing. Was it land they were fighting over? Food? No - it was attention. Each subject was trying to get the other two to pay attention." (Paragraph 15)
C. "Perhaps, one of us mused, the fact that we have chosen death means we have become much more human than we had anticipated." (Paragraph 24)
D. "We lifted their lids and saw that their eyes were the color of slate. We waved and shouted, trying to get the attention of the Woken, but they did not respond."
