Mynheer Vandedendur had approached Candide introducing himself as the master of a large sea vessel.

  • In an ongoing negotiation to help transport Candide to Venice in Italy, Candide hastily agrees (without bargaining to the sum of 10,000 piasters.

  • This action was Candides' mistake for no sooner had he agreed to that amount did the disguised Dutch Skipper up the fees to 30,000 piasters for the Dutch skipper estimated that Candide's sheep carried much treasure.

  • In another serious fail, Candide pays the fare, all of it in advance, while two of his sheep were loaded aboard. And somehow, the Dutch Skipper manages to sail away without Candide.

The correction option from the group of answer choices, therefore, is option D.
