Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller." "She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, ate milk puddings as though they were jam tarts, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.”

"Was she pretty?” asked the bigger of the small girls.

"Not as pretty as any of you,” said the bachelor, "but she was horribly good.”

There was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life.

How does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme that culture can limit our thinking?

It indicates that the aunt’s portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing.
It shows that children and adults have opposing perspectives on what goodness is.
It characterizes the children as eager to accept any viewpoint that disagrees with their aunt’s.
It satirizes the bachelor’s conception of goodness by comparing it to the one in the aunt’s story.
