Answer:
D. Marlow, back in the city, finds the daily lives and concerns of his fellow citizens to be petty.
Explanation:
Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" centers around the character of Marlow who had gone to the African continent to meet Kurtz. This whole plot revolves around the occurrences of the journey.
The above passage is from the third part of the book where Marlow had returned back to Europe. He had no clear memory of how he got back but he is also not appreciative of the European people and their worries. He exclaims that this city looks like a tombstone, filled with "<em>people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams</em>". To him, their daily lives and concerns are so petty as compared to the things he had experienced and seen with his very own eyes.

Diary entry recording an experience after visiting a traditional village fair.

Dear Diary,
Once, our whole family had gone on a vacation to the northeast states. And on one occasion, my father took me and my younger sister to a traditional village fair which was our very first experience attending any such fairs. It was more than I had imagined. The whole ground was full of people moving along, with stalls erected in all corners. The stalls have toys, food, clothing, necessities, and even handmade bamboo products. While the fun and activities part was on another side of the huge ground, I was more into the crafts and wooden products. I asked around for the price, thinking that they'll be too costly and I wouldn't probably have it in me to buy them. But to my surprise, they were so cheap, compared to how things are in my home city of Delhi. I asked my father to buy me so many things that I had to make choices.
Moreover, the one most surprising thing was the friendliness and openness of the village people in helping others, even strangers. They knew we were from out of town and made sure that we are safe, and immediately tried their best to help, even by the old women who couldn't speak English. While their native language was foreign to us, that did not stop them from voicing their concern.
My sister got so many traditional dolls, toys, and other art crafts. I think this was the one time we got ourselves so many things. But it was such a wonderful experience being there, and I don't regret ever spending time or money there.
I only hope I can go there again next year.
Here's hoping for that.
Love,
Sneha.
