Answer:
2. He accepted the decision of the proprietor and resolved to solve his problem in another way.
Explanation:
Booker T Washington's "Up From Slavery," tells the author's life of being a slave and more, covering more than 40 years of his life. The autobiography would become a crucial part of the slave narrative in the world of literature.
In the given passage taken from Chapter 4 of the autobiography, Washington recounts how he had tried all means to repay the debt he owed to the school. And though he found a ten-dollar bill, his decision to give the money to the proprietor of the restaurant would make him unable to pay off that debt. Doing the right and moral thing, Washington accepted the decision of the proprietor to not give the money to him. And instead, he decided he would work things on his own, finding another way to resolve the debt.
Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
