<u>who had driven out the cold </u>

<u>and polished my good shoes as well"</u>

c) a character playing a trick.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, we see the main character, Hidesato, was deceived for a moment. What he believed to be a monster dragon turned out to be a Dragon King, a man, probably with magic powers. We can say, thus, that <u>Hidesato has been tricked</u>. That is a common element of folktales and fairy tales, according to Carl Gustav Jung.<u> In folktales, characters represent several universal characteristics of human society (archetypes), including the evil character, the helper, and the trickster. The trickster usually outsmarts other characters, deceiving them so that he can get what he wants.</u>
