Answer: "guaranteed the safety of any merchant"
Explanation: in the excerpt we can see the description of how the merchants started to buy and sell products in Europe around the year 1150. The phrase that indicates that it was dangerous for merchants to travel, is "guaranteed the safety of any merchant", because the idea of having to guaranteed the safety, indicates that it was some kind of danger.
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.
I think it would be (C. Character) because notice how this exert is only describing a character.
