Answer:
disappointment
Explanation:
Aronnax was a teacher who was traveling on a ship in order to remove a horrendous creature from the sea that was causing great damage in this environment. He wanted to free the seas from this freak. However, upon encountering the creature, his ship is attacked and damaged, making it impossible for them to continue their journey until the ship is repaired. While waiting for the repair, Aronnax is kidnapped by a submarine and remains prisoner of the crew that is there.
When Aronnax hears that his ship has returned to the sea and all his chances of escaping the submarine have been lost he is disappointed.
I would say the correct answer is B ("I am sorry to hear that; but why did not you tell me that before? If I had known as much this morning I certainly would not have called on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have actually paid the visit, we cannot escape the acquaintance now.")
It is both false and ironic because he would certainly have called on him nevertheless, regardless of the fact whether his wife likes Mr. Bingley or not. He didn't really do much about the whole affair, which is ironic because he makes it as if he had.
I think it is B but A would be a good choice
