Item 8 Read this excerpt from Lord of the Flies.

Ralph moved impatiently. The trouble was, if you were a chief you had to think, you had to be wise. And then the occasion slipped by so that you had to grab at a decision. This made you think; because thought was a valuable thing, that got results.

Only, decided Ralph as he faced the chief's seat, I can't think. Not like Piggy.

Once more that evening Ralph had to adjust his values. Piggy could think.

What does this excerpt reveal?

Ralph is jealous of Piggy by revealing Ralph's inner thoughts.

Leaders are formed through hard work and Ralph struggles to grow into his leadership role.

Ralph is incapable of being a good leader because he has doubts about his own abilities.

Piggy is most capable of leading the group, and even Ralph understands this fact.
