I think the cane represents C. HIS SELF-CONSCIOUS DISPLAYS OF AUTHORITY.
Notice that when people using canes are in public, people around them make it a point to make sure that they get out of the way to ensure that the person using a cane will not be hindered. People are more quick to react or help if they find that the person in need is using a cane or is in a wheelchair.
Majority of people using canes are those who are elderly, thus gaining immediate respect and subservience from others.

Answer:
I was 80 francs richer before coming here.
Explanation:
<u>The comparative degree, as the name suggests, compares two things to show which has the lesser or greater degree of the quality stated. For instance, I can compare my height to someone else's: Mark is shorter than I am.</u>
We are supposed to transform a sentence by using the comparative degree. The sentence is: <em>But before coming here, I had at least 80 francs</em>. Since we do not have the context in which the speaker says that, I will assume this person had at least 80 francs, but now he/she does not. Having that in mind, we can create the following sentence in the comparative degree:
I was 80 francs richer before coming here.
