Sample Answer: 
The passage develops a clear literary argument by showing how evidence and reasoning lead to a fair conclusion. The theme highlights the importance of not making quick judgments without proof. Ananya’s actions demonstrate careful observation, as she collects clues like the glass pieces and the cricket ball before forming an idea. She uses evidence and logical thinking to explain that while the ball caused the damage, there was no proof against Rahul. This shows how reasoning supports the conclusion. Overall, the passage teaches that strong arguments depend on facts, not assumptions.
