    Decide whether the statement is True or False:1.       The rape scene is a symbol of emotional and physical betrayal.

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a rape scene can often be seen as a symbol of emotional and physical betrayal. Rape is a violent act that involves a violation of trust and consent, resulting in immense emotional and physical harm to the victim.

Therefore, the rape scene can be interpreted as a symbol of the deep betrayal experienced by the victim.

    • True

    The statement suggests a cause-and-effect relationship between Hassan giving up the kite and Amir allowing his rape. However, there is no evidence or logical reasoning to support this claim.
