Question 2
Part B

Which evidence best supports the answer in Part A?

"Jupiter announced that he intended to appoint a king over the birds, and named a day…when he would select the most beautiful of them all to be their ruler."

"…he was about to make the Jackdaw king, when all the rest set upon the king-elect, stripped him of his borrowed plumes, and exposed him for the Jackdaw that he was."

"Wishing to look their best on the occasion they repaired to the banks of a stream, where they busied themselves in washing and preening their feathers."

"The Jackdaw…picked up the most gaudy of the feathers they had dropped, and fastened them about his own body, with the result that he looked gayer than any of them."
