London Gill · Answer 1

From this excerpt we can infer that the narrator doesn't have a good attitude towards the club or its members, he claims that he never really knew what was the object of the institution, other than to dine expensively and quarrel with each other. Therefore the right answer is letter C, he has a low opinion of the club's purpose and its members.
