“’It was a pity,” mused Gortsby; “the going out to get one’s own soap was the one convincing touch in the whole story, and yet it was just that little detail that brought him to grief. If he had had the brilliant forethought to provide himself with a cake of soap.’“ Based on these sentences, with which statement would Gortsby most likely agree? A. Fibbers will always make mistakes.
B. Travelers should always be aware of their surroundings.
C. People should carefully evaluate anything they are told.
D. Strangers should generously listen to each other’s stories

The statement Gortsby would most likely agree with is that travelers should be aware of their surroundings (option B).

In this story, a young man tells Gorstby how he lost both a hotel and a cake of soap.

This occurred because the young man decided to buy a cake of soap shortly after finding a hotel but he was not careful enough to write down the direction of the hotel.

Therefore, he could not remember where the hotel was and he even lost the soup he had bought.

This story focuses on the importance of being careful, especially the importance of being aware of one's surroundings. Based on this, Gorstby who seems to be a wise man would agree Travellers must be aware of their surroundings to avoid situations like the one experienced by the young man.
