Which moment during the kite scene offers Sohrab hope?

• A. Sohrab backs away
• B. Sohrab holds the string and participates
• C. Sohrab yells
• D. Sohrab smiles

Answer: (B)

Hope in this moment comes when Sohrab holds the kite string and participates with Amir. That small act shows him moving from fear toward engagement, inviting trust and connection after so much trauma. By actively taking part, he signals a willingness to be part of something joyful and human again, which is the essence of hope in this scene. Backing away reflects withdrawal, yelling signals distress, and a smile, while happy, doesn’t demonstrate the same step toward connection and healing that comes with actually joining in and steering the moment.
