The narrator's description of the colonel during the reception leads the reader to conclude that:
D. the colonel inspires great fear among the townspeople.
The passage to which this question refers to can be found online. It belongs to the story "The Refusal," by Bohemian writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924).
The narrator of the story is a boy who describes how his town is controlled by an authoritarian government.
The colonel is also the town's tax-collector. Whenever the townspeople need anything, it is the colonel they address. However, as the narrator describes, the reception by the colonel is quite a sight to see.
The people go see the colonel, who <u>stands upright, barely moving, breathing deeply, and saying nothing</u>. The one person chosen to speak on behalf of the others is so intimidated by the colonel that he seems about to faint.
Thus, we can clearly see that the colonel inspires fear among the townspeople. Although they do talk to him, it is with great effort and anxiety. Once it is all over with, the people sigh in relief and leave.

Answer:
Hi! The correct order of the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in <em>The Evolution of Useful Things</em> is: 3,4,1,2. <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
I chose the third option (3,4,1,2) because, according to the text, the chronological order for the things that led Art Fry's creation are:
- Spencer Silver came upon a curious adhesive that he demonstrated to Fry.
- Fry reflected on the failure of bookmarks to do all that might be expected of them.
- Fry spent nearly a year and a half experimenting.
- Fry's idea was accepted as being commercially viable.
Besides the way in which these events were described by the author, and if you think about it, it <u>is pretty logical</u> the way this happened. Usually, we come up with ideas when we are complaining about the lack of a thing that would be useful in certain moments. If you think about it, this is also what happened here. The last step of the process is always the commercial viability just as in this case.
