Answer:

The answer is option D.

Explanation:

For this question, the four options are part of the Grice's Maxims. As part of them, maxim of manner refers to a situation when a person avoids ambiguity by expressing their ideas as clearly and orderly as possible.  In this case, Allen mentions a part of the project, but it doesn't specify what it is and the use of pronouns in his speech is ambiguous, so option D is the correct answer.

Read "The Postmaster", by Tagore.

The story is about a postmaster who is trying to adapt to the new life in the village of Ulapur. In what way is the postmaster's life different from his life in urban Calcutta?

A. The postmaster disliked the people working in the indigo factory in the small village.

B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.

C. The postmaster was too proud to adjust his life to the small village of Ulapur.

D. The postmaster did not like the green, slimy pond and dense growth near his office and living room.

Answer: B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.

Explanation:

The postmaster seems to feel extremely out of place in Ulapur because he considers himself to belong to Calcutta. He also feels too sophisticated compared to the simple villagers and maybe too arrogant to the ones he wanted as friends. Furthermore, there´s not much to do in his new location. So he doesn´t have much company or activities to do.
