I think it is B, because he wanted to show his dad and family that he is not a disappointment like his dads other son Gregor.
The Sumner is absolutely right because in this universe, every man and woman have to take of their own self and are responsible for themselves. They should not depend on others for their protection.
<u>Explanation:</u>
With the rights given to the men and the women who are the citizens of a country, there are certain responsibilities of the men and the women also that they should fulfill.
They should take care of themselves on their own and should not depend on others to take care of them. The government of a country should make policies to protect them but they should take care of themselves also. Thus this view of Sumner is right.
The answer is Agression , and violence.
The main difference between the two acts is not in the actions per se, but in Agression, the perpetrator may not really intended to harm others because his/her actions derived from their personal egos in order to appear as capable in order to increase their value. In violence on the other hands, the perpetrators tend to have a big intention to cause harms to their target.
Are there answer choices? If not, Just reading over this passage for the first time, It seems the narrator could be describing something very majestic, like a statue built in the ocean, of a god or something. it seems as though the narrator personifies this statue as though the statue itself is a character and has feelings, maybe even something to hide. Hope this helps!
