Question

Which phrase shows Paul’s father’s viewpoint that he believes Paul should learn a lesson?

O I figure you'll remember that a whole lot longer than a whipping.
O "But, Mister Edward -"
O My daddy stopped and looked at me.

Answer 1

O I figure you'll remember that a whole lot longer than a whipping.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have no context of the story, so this is rather surmised, but this seems to be taken from dialogue or thoughts of Paul's father. The other two choices do not offer any insight of any extent about what Paul's father's belief or opinion.

Answer 2

O I figure you’ll remember that a whole lot more than a whipping.
This is the answer because it shows that the dad believes whatever happened to Paul will teach him more of a lesson than whipping him will.
