“Horace Danby was good and respectable — but not completely honest”. Why do you think this description is apt for Horace? Why can’t he be categorised as a typical thief?
Model Answer & Options
Source: TextbookThis description is apt because Horace led a respectable life and only committed theft once a year to pursue his love for books. He avoided violence and didn’t steal for greed, distinguishing him from typical criminals.
