Which of these inferences is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 5)? Yet while he lives among us without laying too m

uch stress on his official position, he is something quite different from the ordinary citizen. When a delegation comes to him with a request, he stands there like the wall of the world. Behind him is nothingness, one imagines hearing voices whispering in the background, but this is probably a delusion; after all, he represents the end of all things, at least for us. At these receptions he really was worth seeing. Answer choices for the above question A. The townspeople are resentful of the capital’s control over them. B. The tax-collector’s family lives a privileged life. C. The tax-collector lives an ordinary life and blends in with the people of the small town. D.

Answer:

A). The townspeople are resentful of the capital’s control over them.

Explanation:

The inference that can best be supported by the given passage would be 'the 'resentment of townspeople on the capital's control over them.' The detail which supports this inference is 'after all, he represents the end of all things, at least for us.' It<em> connotes that the townspeople are trying to hide their dissatisfaction by considering that 'at least he represents them</em>.' The <u>descriptions 'without laying too much stress on his official position' and 'standing there as a wall on a delegate's request', 'hearing voices is a delusion' further substantiate the reason due to which townspeople are discontented over his control</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
