Blackie is shown in this passage as influential girl because she is talking to all people in the group and they are listening to her. She is showing her authority over them which is a good character that leader of some group can have.

"We'll show him we don't take bribes" is showing us that she is unwilling to back down during some conflict and she would response to any uncomfortable reaction to her.

<u>Answer:</u>

The quotation above describes Blackie as a type of gang leader who is influential and unwilling to back down during conflict. So, the right answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Blackie, the gang leader is a character in the short story “The Destructors” by Graham Greene set at the backdrop of the WWII. T. is a member of a group of boys called "Wormsley Common Gang" which is led by Blackie.

In the beginning he is quiet and has no authority. But he becomes fascinated with a stately old house which has survived the bombings of WWII. He learns that it was built by Christopher Wren, a great British architect.

When T. is able to enter the house when its owner Mr Thomas is away for a holiday, he convinces the members of the gang of boys to destroy the house in a night. They plan to do it in a spectacular fashion. Even when the owner returns beforehand, they lock him up in the outhouse and execute their plan.

They do it so that Mr Thomas or whom they called as Old Misery, is left with nothing. Blackie during this mission becomes temporarily subordinate to T for being out-voted about the destruction of Mr Thomas' house but he regains his position at the end. He is described as a team player for whom the future of the gang matters the most.
