Detailed Answer Explanation

This question asks you to compare perspectives from two passages. Peter: Never grows up. Wendy: Grows up. Difference: Aging. Understanding how the authors relate to each other's views is essential. Identify whether they agree, disagree, or address different aspects of the topic. Focus on their specific claims and conclusions. When comparing texts, first identify each author's thesis or main argument. Then determine how these positions interact: do they complement each other, contradict each other, or address different aspects of the same issue? The relationship between texts reveals deeper meaning.

Key Evidence:

• "never grows up"

• "She grows up"

Why others are wrong: B (Peter in Neverland.), D (She never forgets.), A (Peter flies.).
