Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. "It's very good jam,” said the Queen.

"Well, I don't want any TO-DAY, at any rate.”

"You couldn't have it if you DID want it,” the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day.”

"It MUST come sometimes to ‘jam to-day,’” Alice objected.

"No, it can't,” said the Queen. "It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know.”

This details from this excerpt provide evidence that

Athe Queen is a kind ruler.
B the people of the mirror world enjoy jam.
C Alice understands the Queen’s rules.
D rules in the mirror world defy logic.

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

Alice said afterwards she had never seen such a fuss made about anything in all her life—the way those two bustled about—and the quantity of things they put on—and the trouble they gave her in tying strings and fastening buttons—“Really they'll be more like bundles of old clothes than anything else, by the time they're ready!” she said to herself, as she arranged a bolster round the neck of Tweedledee, “to keep his head from being cut off,” as he said.

“You know,” he added very gravely, “it's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle—to get one's head cut off.”

Alice laughed aloud: but she managed to turn it into a cough, for fear of hurting his feelings.

“Do I look very pale?” said Tweedledum, coming up to have his helmet tied on. (He CALLED it a helmet, though it certainly looked much more like a saucepan.)

“Well—yes—a LITTLE,” Alice replied gently.

“I'm very brave generally,” he went on in a low voice: “only to-day I happen to have a headache.”

“And I'VE got a toothache!” said Tweedledee, who had overheard the remark. “I'm far worse off than you!”

Which line implies that Alice finds Tweedledee and Tweedledum’s battle preparations quite silly?

“You know,” he added very gravely, “it's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle—to get one's head cut off.”

Alice laughed aloud: but she managed to turn it into a cough, for fear of hurting his feelings.
