Sat always at my right hand

Anonymous · Answer

The statement which best explains what the word choice in this excerpt reveals  about Crusoe is the following: "the phrase 'it was a merry reflection' reveals that Crusoe is happy  and content" (D).The general tone of the excerpt is positive, almost cheerful. This is indicated by the author's use of phrases like "how like  a king I looked" or "it was remarkable." The fact that Crusoe finds something as neutral as his reflection "merry" also shows that he is optimistic about his current situation.

D. The phrase "wretched creatures" reveals that Crusoe is preoccupied with mastery. In the story, Crusoe was a slave trader shipwrecked on an island and so at first looked down on the "savages" but with time began to re-consider his attitude to the inhabitants of the island and to slave trading.
