Answer 1

Answer:

b. He wants to rebel against the law and show off his superior gifts.

Explanation:

Harrison is an authoritarian man who wants everyone to submit to his will without question and to fulfill all his whims. He is a man who wants to impose his power to be superior to all, and he wants to control those who are weaker and have no power to stand up to him. Harrison wants to rebel against the law and show his superior gifts, so he calls out abusive and authoritative phrases like the ones shown in the question above.
