A. The British imperial agent clearly thought the conditions in India were unjust due to what, we can assume, he saw as mercantilism conditions when he actually arrived.

However, he is sacrificing his career and potential future wealth in order to make a point. He has met his notion of justice, not society's, so B does not apply. He does not really reach his goal in creating a just environment, so C is likewise not applicable. D is also out because it seems to jump to a conclusion that one of the two societies found the arrangement unjust, but that is not supported by the limited information provided.

Answer:
The statement which best describes the use of characterization in this excerpt is:
Anton is directly characterized as kind.
Explanation:
<em>Anton was kind enough to divide it for them. </em>
<u>In the line above, the narrator of the story is telling us that Anton is kind, and that is a perfect example of direct characterization.</u>
<u>Direct characterization happens when the author openly states a character's traits. The opposite would be indirect characterization, which happens when the author uses dialogues, actions, thoughts, and descriptions to tell us about the character. In this case, we have to infer the traits, since they are not explicitly told.</u>
Having that in mind, we can easily say that, in the passage, Anton is directly characterized as kind.
