1. C. He is proud of his ability to “read between the lines.”
2. B. References
Explanation:
Option A cannot be possible as Juan mentions in one of the lines, <em>“the idea that something could happen to Mariana, in Paris, through his fault”</em>. B and D can’t also be possible because the reason why he got that job was because he wanted to intercept and approve his own letter.
As for question number two, it is ironic that that the Censorship Division didn’t bother to check Juan’s <u>references</u> before hiring, as he didn’t quite have the ability to “read between lines”, why wouldn’t they checked that before? If it was such an important job?
