Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Try taking it out of the sentence and see if it can "stand alone."
You did not provide the excerpt but I wound it and the correct answers are the following two sentences:
1.<span>For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks.
Here we see that they do possess a kind of intelligence, maybe at first strange and unclear but it is there, no matter how strange it might seem.
2.</span><span>I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned.
Here the Time Traveler has found his Time Machine and he finds that the Morlocks had tried to grasp its function and its purpose. They have taken it apart and then cleaned and oiled it, which suggests they know somethings about how the machine work.
</span>
The first one melancholy.
I hope this helps :)

Explanation:
I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be Polyphemus, the Cyclops. This is important because Polyphemus is disregarding the imporance of hospitality and obeying the gods; he says he does not care. He does not fear the gods' wrath and says that Cyclops are stronger and better, which is a dangerous thing to say, as it could incur the gods' wrath. Hope this helps.
