The correct answer is B.

The description indicates the man is tough and rich. Tough because he has a square jaw and a scar above his eye. Rich because he has a diamond set into his scarfpin.

The other characteristics cannot be inferred based on this description.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"He is stand-offish and keeps to himself".</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading the excerpt from "After Twenty Years", the character can be inferred as "stand-offish and keeps to himself". This can be portrayed by his behaviour and his actions like lighting the cigar, showing the paleness in his eyes, and the scar near his eyebrows. The diamond which is stuck in the scarfpin shows that he has a status and is also rich. He keeps to himself because he lights the cigar on his own without concerning about others.

Option A has a symbol (temptation) that is usually experienced by humans, but not by animals. Option B has the symbol kindness, and option D has the symbol hope, which are both shared among human beings, but not all them.

Death is still the sole symbol that encompasses all living forms (animals, plants and human beings).
