The not-so-trusty steed upon which King Frederick sat meandered through the dappled forest at an exasperatingly uneven pace. "Hurry along now, Hoofheart," the king implored the horse, who, if she could talk, would complain bitterly about her absurd name. "At this rate, we'll not reach the palace until well after tea time, and I'm utterly famished." In response to this ardent plea, Hoofheart bent her head low and, much to the king's dismay, began grazing on a patch of wildflowers. What evidence from the passage supports the analysis that the author is poking fun at King Frederick?

Question 1 options:

A. The confused wanderings of the king through the forest represent a comical lack of direction in life

B. The horse's stubborn attitude presents an entertaining reflection of the king's own stubbornness.

C. The king's inferior relationship to his horse humorously conveys his incompetence as a leader.
