“Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead... After that my own rule is to let everything alone.”
Meyer Wolfsheim
Answer: the way I thought of it was he wasnt scared of the police and wanted to show that he wasnt scared.
In the text, it is said that he got to the shore and then did everything possible to carry the mast with him, besides, everyone was sleeping so nobody could help him.
Therefore, the option that better fits with the story is option D, as he attempted to carry the gear by himself several times, despite failing to do so and falling asleep in the process.
