Answer 2

Answer:

is shocked at the expense of the clothing that he wears.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the emperor describes the things he remembers about his royal life. He tells the reader that enormous amounts of food were cooked, but not eaten, and that many new clothes were made, but never worn. After providing the details of his clothes, the emperor gives us the details of the materials that were needed. The surprise he expresses at the number of necessary things and the amount that was paid for them indicates that the emperor is shocked at the expense of the clothing he wears.
