Explanation

"The Cabuliwalllah" is a short story written by Rabindranath Tagore that tells the story of a merchant from Kabul who has to go to Calcutta (India) to sell different products in this process he begins a friendship with an Indian kid who belongs to an upper class. In this excerpt explains the way the main character who is the Cabuli feels about her daughter who is away from him as he is in Calcutta.

Additionally, the Cabuli feelings are shared by the narrator who despite not being a merchant feels moved by the experience of the Cabuli "Tears came to my eyes. I forgot he was a poor Cabuli fruitseller, while I was but no, was I more than he? He was also a father.", this suggests the narrator feels empathy towards the Cabuli including kindship as they both have similar emotions towards being a father; humility as even when the Cabuli belongs to another social class the other character recognizes they are similar and shame as he feels bad for the Cabuli missing his daughter. Thus, the narrator feels humility, kinship, and shame but not disdain, therefore the correct answer is A. Disdain as this is the emotion that is not expressed by the narrator towards the Cabuli.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
