Answer:
"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell

Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate.

Personal definitions
Arrogance-- the protagonist saying he's the best in the world
Outrage -- OMG he did what?!
Melancholy-- I feel sad
foreboding -- small action hinting at a possible future event
I like answer D, the passage is a bit suspenseful, low clicking noise that only the protagonist can here, that is gradually getting louder. Feels like this small action is leading to something bigger.
