Therefore, the correct answer is C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

2. Towards the end of the story, Ben Price's opinion changed completely.

Since, Jimmy Valentine decided to surrender himself for arrest, Ben Price must have concluded that Jimmy was actually a changed man, especially now that he had fallen in love with Annabel.
