6. How does the author reveal that Rikki is not boastful or conceited about killing Nag and Nagaina?

The end of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi includes the following:

    `He saved our lives and Teddy's life,'' she said to her husband. ``Just

    think, he saved all our lives!''

    Rikki-tikki woke up with a jump, for all the mongooses are light sleepers.

    ``Oh, it's you,'' said he. ``What are you bothering for? All the cobras are

    dead; and if they weren't, I'm here.''

    Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself; but he did not grow too

    proud. . .

This shows that even though Teddy's mother believes it was a heroic feat to kill Nag and Nagaina, he acts like it's no big deal. The last sentence literally says that he wasn't proud (a synonym of boastful or conceited) even though he had a right to be.

you didn't list the options but im guessing it's resolving contradictions

hi,   i believe the outlines that were supposed to be showing at the sentences, are not. could you highlight them somehow?
