A.  The British imperial agent clearly thought the conditions in India were unjust due to what, we can assume, he saw as mercantilism conditions when he actually arrived.  His resignation will not stop the expansion of the British Empire and it is unlikely that anyone who could actually change conditions will take note.  However, he is sacrificing his career and potential future wealth in order to make a point.  He has met his notion of justice, not society's, so B does not apply.  He does not really reach his goal in creating a just environment, so C is likewise not applicable.  D is also out because it seems to jump to a conclusion that one of the two societies found the arrangement unjust, but that is not supported by the limited information provided.

What do the phrases "made man" and "making of a man" mean in the context of the story? Use evidence from the text to explain you
alekssr [168]
The phrase "making of a man" refers to the process by which a man becomes successful or prosperous, while the phrase "made man" refers to actually being successful. 
The phrase "making of a man" is used when Henry discusses Harris’s "humble feeding house." He says, "I was the making of Harris. The fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of the place.” When people find out that Henry, already known for having a million-pound bank note, breakfasts at Harris’s eating house, the restaurant’s popularity skyrockets. Earlier, Harris’s eating house had been "poor, struggling," but it became "celebrated, and overcrowded with customers" after London society hears that Henry eats there. 
The phrase "made man" is used when Henry is caricatured in Punch. He says, "Punch caricatured me! Yes, I was a made man now; my place was established. I might be joked about still, but reverently, not hilariously, not rudely; I could be smiled at, but not laughed at." Because he was mimicked so publicly, Henry becomes famous, and his good reputation is solidified.

fomenos

Answer:

Yes, most of the people I'm friends with right now are very different of how I first them met. For an example, when I first met my best friend I thought she/he was extremely rude, ignorant, and selfish. In reality she/he is the most genuine, selfless, and kind hearted person I know. My best friends first impression of me was she thought I was a total nightmare, she saw me being "rude" to boy who was actually my cousin and we were playing around. Thats why we're currently best friends right now. A first impression is how a person could always see you, so try to always show someone new who you really are.
