Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is making assumptions can make one appear foolish.

Explanation
Option 1: Making assumptions can make you better informed.

This option is not supported by the event because making assumptions without proper information often leads to misunderstandings, as seen in the story.

Option 2: It is best to be generous, but only when completely informed.

While this option suggests a cautious approach to generosity, the event primarily highlights the consequences of making assumptions rather than focusing on generosity.

Option 3: It is best to be greedy and always protect yourself.

This option is not supported by the event, as the story does not promote greed or self-protection as a theme.

Option 4: Making assumptions can make one appear foolish.

This option is supported by the event, as Pearl's assumption about Henry's intentions leads to her embarrassment when she discovers the truth. This illustrates how making assumptions without full information can lead to foolishness.
