Question

Read the paragraph and answer the question.

It was in his genes. Risk-taking. The thrill of danger. The exhilaration of escaping injury by the proverbial skin of one's teeth. Max's grandfather answered the call, riding trackless trolleys throughout S. Philly when the patrolmen weren't looking. His father: same story. He tunneled through Providence on his roller skates, holding the backs of buses until his fingers turned red from their unwrenchable grip and black from the city's sooty underbelly. Max thought of these countless stories as he raced down the 40 steps that led to a small cove in the Atlantic Ocean. When he dove off the roughly carved steps in the cliffs lap, smoothed by the ebb and flow of white waves, Max never anticipated the hidden rocks just below the water's surface. Fortunately, only his knee made this dangerous discovery, and the rest of his body escaped great injury. At that moment, Max felt his genes shift a little. Maybe he wouldn't be like his father and grandfather after all.

Select the correct answer.
Which of these statements best represents the moral of the story?
A.
Don't dive from cliffs into the ocean.
B.
You can have fun taking risks, but risk-taking can be very dangerous.
C.
Do as your father does.
