Which option has the correct statement about what is going on in the comic strip?
Ⓐ The Private has not avoided putting in some physical effort.
Ⓑ The Private has not given the Sergeant a lousy excuse.
Ⓒ The Private has hurt his foot.
Ⓓ The Private’s behavior has pleased the Sergeant.

In the comic:
-
The Private says: “I can’t do the hike today.”
-
The Sergeant asks: “What’s your excuse this time?”
-
The Private answers: “I lost my other sock in the laundry.”
This shows the Private is giving a very weak/lazy excuse to avoid the hike, meaning he is not doing his duties properly.

-
B) Incorrect — he did give a lousy excuse.
-
C) Incorrect — he never says he hurt his foot.
-
D) Incorrect — the Sergeant is clearly not pleased.
-
E) Correct — the Private has slacked on his duties.
- Answer: E) The Private has slacked on his duties.
