C). Stanley thought about the long, miserable bus ride and felt a little sorry for the guard and bus driver.
Explanation:
<u>The third option highlights how Stanley possesses the implied character trait of being compassionate towards others that he is equally worried about the discomfort and pain of the people surrounding him</u>. A long bus journey is often distressful and tiring for anyone but Stanley is concerned more about the inconvenience and trouble suffered by the driver and the guard of the bus than his own fatigue due to the journey. This description clearly suggests that he is thoughtful and attentive towards others. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
