Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. “That's right,” said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alice didn't like at all, “though, when you say ‘garden,’—I'VE seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness.”

Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: “—and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill—”

“When you say ‘hill,’” the Queen interrupted, “I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.”

“No, I shouldn't,” said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: “a hill CAN'T be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense—”

The Red Queen shook her head, “You may call it ‘nonsense’ if you like,” she said, “but I'VE heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!”

What do the Red Queen’s comparisons reveal about her?

She thinks that everything she owns or has experienced is better.
She does not know what gardens, hills, or nonsense really are.
She is a very gracious host to Alice and all other visitors.
She wishes her kingdom were better than it actually is.
