Read the following passage found in from emperor to citizen. "just as food was cooked in huge quantities but not eaten, so was a vast amount of clothing made which was never worn. i cannot now remember much about this, but i do know that while the dowager and the high consorts had fixed yearly allocations, there were no limits for the emperor, for whom clothes were constantly made throughout the year. i do not know what exactly was made, but everything i wore was always new. i have before me an account from an unspecified year headed “list of materials actually used in making clothes for his majesty’s use from the sixth day of the eleventh month.” according to this list the following garments were made for me that month: eleven fur jackets, six fur inner and outer gowns, two fur waistcoats, and thirty padded waistcoats and pairs of trousers. leaving aside the cost of the main materials and of the labor, the bill for such minor items as the edgings, pockets, buttons and thread came to 2,137.6335 silver dollars. my changes of clothing were all laid down in regulations and were the responsibility of the eunuchs of the clothing storerooms. even my everyday gowns came in twenty-eight different styles, from the one in black and white inlaid fur that i started wearing on the nineteenth of the first lunar month to the sable one i changed into on the first day of the eleventh month. needless to say, my clothes were far more complicated on festivals and ceremonial occasions." after reading these paragraphs, the reader can most likely conclude that the speaker a.)enjoys the vast array of clothing he has to choose from. b.)is proud of the expense of the clothing that he wears. c.)regards his wardrobe as a waste of time and resources. d.)appreciates all of the work that goes into overseeing his royal attire.
