What did May do to lure the insects instead of killing them?

• A. Created a trail of marshmallows and graham crackers to lure insects out instead of killing it.
• B. Used a net to catch the insect.
• C. Painted the hive to distract insects.
• D. Called a beekeeper for advice.

Answer: (A)

Luring insects with a nonviolent approach shows May’s gentle attitude toward living things. By placing a trail of marshmallows and graham crackers, she gives the insects a tasty cue that draws them out instead of harming them. This method emphasizes empathy and observation over force, aligning with the book’s themes about treating creatures with kindness. Other options would rely on trapping, distracting without lure, or seeking outside help, which don’t capture May’s choice to coax the insects out through a simple, harmless lure.
