The correct answer is C. The words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. The excerpt shows the narrator sitting in his study when an old acquaintance, Rahmun, shows up. His reaction, however, is not positive. After inquiring, he learns that Rahmun has just been released from jail. This makes the narrator recoil in disgust, since he had never before talked with an ex-convict, and he thinks to himself that it would have been better had he not shown up.

The American and the girl are at a railway station; they are talking about "it" while they are having some drinks. They never refer to what that " it" means directly till the American man says: " 'It's really an awfully simple operation, Jig', the man said." This tells that they cannot have an open and honest conversation about a problem they both have: the girl is pregnant and the "it" refers to abortion. Their relationship seems to be evasive. The girl does not seem to be decesive about <em>the operation </em>and she seems to care more about her relatiosnhip with the man in the future. The man sounds more pragmatic; he wants the problem to be solved today. " I love you <em>now</em>...", the man said ; "And if I do it.......you<em>'ll </em>love me?", the girl said. The man is in control of the situation and the girl seems helpless. They understand one another is a patronising way and the man is the patronising character.
