The children’s story—seemingly a simple tale of animals gathering for a picnic in the forest—took _________ turn at the end, admonishing readers to always be honest.

(A) a generous = giving, big-hearted
(B) a cynical = nonbelieving; doubtful
(C) a jocular = funny
(D) an irate = angry
(E) a didactic = teaching or intending to teach a moral lesson

"admonishing readers to always be honest"

This part shows the story took a didactic turn.
