40) The parrot always said the same words.

The text mentions the parrot always said the same answer: "There is no doubt about it." Later, it says, "This time the parrot was right," implying it said something different or appropriate to the situation. However, the initial and most consistent behavior described is repeating the same phrase. The final sentence suggests a change, but the question asks about its general behavior. The most accurate answer based on the initial description is that it always said the same words.true
