Read these lines: "each got his reward, in small blue tickets; each blue ticket was pay for two verses of the recitation. Ten blue tickets equalled a red one, and could be exchanged for it; ten red tickets equalled a yellow one; for ten yellow tickets the superintendent gave a very plainly bound Bible to the pupil." According to the quoted lines, how many verses did a pupil recite to earn one yellow ticket?

1. One blue ticket is pay for two verses. 2. Ten blue tickets make one red ticket, so a red ticket is worth ten times two verses, which is twenty verses. 3. Ten red tickets make one yellow ticket, so a yellow ticket is worth ten times twenty verses. 4. Ten times twenty verses is two hundred verses, option A. 5. Option B stops at the red ticket, and option C is the total for the Bible itself, which needs ten yellow tickets. _Source: Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), public domain_
