Answer:
A). The townspeople are resentful of the capital’s control over them.
Explanation:
The inference that can best be supported by the given passage would be 'the 'resentment of townspeople on the capital's control over them.' The detail which supports this inference is 'after all, he represents the end of all things, at least for us.' It<em> connotes that the townspeople are trying to hide their dissatisfaction by considering that 'at least he represents them</em>.' The <u>descriptions 'without laying too much stress on his official position' and 'standing there as a wall on a delegate's request', 'hearing voices is a delusion' further substantiate the reason due to which townspeople are discontented over his control</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
