Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" In writing a story of this nature, Poe would have considered such historical examples as the Black Death or the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages as well as the cholera epidemics that ravaged Philadelphia in the 1790's and Baltimore in his own lifetime. However, "The Wife of His Youth" follows Mr. Ryder, a bi-racial man who was born and reared free before the Civil War. He heads the "Blue Veins Society", a social organization for colored people in a northern town; the membership consists of people with a high proportion of European ancestry, who look more white than black. The organization's name stemmed from the joke that one would have to be so white (to be a member) that veins could be seen through the skin.

The correct answer is D.
The teacher clearly dislikes his students; he describes their work as slovenly and says that he is sick and tired of dealing with them.
He explains that he will not take the last of his energy and waste it on them, since they are so indifferent. While he does not like them, he does not yet hate them. He says if he were to give them the last of his energy, however, he would end up hating them. For now, though, he just dislikes them and waits for the bell.
