Which excerpt from the essay most clearly portrays the Burmese with

negative connotations?

O

A. When I pulled the trigger I did not hear the bang or feel the kick -

one never does when a shot goes home - but I heard the devilish

roar of glee that went up from the crowd.

O

B. Various Burmans stopped me on the way and told me about the

elephant's doings.

O

C. It was a tiny incident in itself, but it gave me a better glimpse than

had had before of the real nature of imperialism - the real

motives for which despotic governments act.

D. We began questioning the people as to where the elephant had

gone and, as usual, failed to get any definite information.

    In this question, A would be the answer.

    Explanation:

    Compared to answer A., the others do not hold negative connotations as the first answer does. B is simply telling, 'told me about,' and C is a realization from the narrator.

    D is also a narrator's thought, not holding connotations to negativity, as it is the narrator trying to figure out something within the story.

    A's negativity can be seen through words like, 'devilish,' 'roar,' 'trigger,' or 'shot.'
