Which detail from the passage best shapes the theme that one should only discuss the outcome of a task when it is complete?

"he refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more."

"my uncle, who knew by long experience where were the best haunts of pickerel, considerately placed me at the most favorable point."

'"uncle! ' i cried, looking back in uncontrollable excitement, 'i've got a fish! '"

'"it's no use to boast of anything until it's done, nor then, either, for it speaks for itself."'

'"It's no use to boast of anything until it's done, nor then, either, for it speaks for itself."'

This quote from the story practically restates the theme. It says that a person should not brag about something that he or she has completed before it's actually fully done, and even then the work should speak for itself, not the words. The other quotes do not work because none of them talk about a task that was almost completed but not all the way done. Even option C doesn't work because it doesn't include the fact that the fish doesn't stay on the hook.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
