1. The conclusion about the Eldest Magician the excerpt supports is the one in the first alternative: "The Eldest Magician has a good sense of humor." He calls the Man lazy in a very humorous way, and even tells the man his children are lazy too, and names them Malazy- the lazy people. The fact the Eldest Magician named Man's children in such an amusing way, joking with Malaysia, the country, shows how good his sense of humor is. Instead of being mad at the Eldest Magician, the Man went along with his joking and replied: "If I am to be lazy all my days, let the Sea work for me twice a day forever. That will save paddling." At that, the Eldest Magician laughed and agreed it was fair enough, which showed his nice sense of humor, as well as the good vibes within him.
