HELP (To Kill A Mockingbird)

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
Jem and Scout know that Atticus is serious about the above statement because _____.
-that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something

-Atticus wasn't interested in guns

-Atticus preferred them to shoot tin cans rather than birds

-Atticus wouldn't teach them to shoot

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is A, "that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something" because, by process of elimination, he specifically was a good shot, and didn't tell his kids to shoot anything in particular.  Therefore the only logical conclusion in my eyes is A.  Have a nice day! :)

The correct answer is option A. Jem and Scout know that Atticus is serious about the above statement because that was the only time they heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something. Atticus is very honest about what Jem and Scout can and cannot shoot at.
