Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe:

In this manner I used to look upon my condition with the

utmost regret. I had nobody to converse with, but now and then this neighbour; no work to be done but by the labour of my hands; and I used to say, I lived just like a man cast away upon some desolate island, that had nobody there but himself ... I say, how just has it been that the truly solitary life I reflected on, in an island of mere desolation, should be my lot, who had so often unjustly compared it with the life which I then led, in which, had I continued, I had, in all probability, been exceeding prosperous and rich.

Which phrase from this excerpt best suggests future events in the story?

A. Who had so often unjustly compared

B. Been exceeding prosperous and rich

D. Look upon my condition with the utmost regret
