The best answer here is the last one, that he interacts easily with both his superiors and the drivers. In the excerpt, we see how the narrator is able to talk with the officers with ease and then how he goes to the drivers with that same ease.
If we look at the other answers, we can see that they don't work. The first one doesn't make much sense as the narrator shows no preference towards either set of people. The second choice makes no sense because the narrator does not ask the officers for cigarettes. The third choice also does not make sense because there is no hint of derision from the narrator to the officers or drivers.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
