Hello. Although you have submitted the text, you have not submitted any questions associated with it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you the context and the meaning of this text within the story.
This text is an excerpt from "A Long Way Gone" written by Ishmael Beah, where he recounts the experiences he had when he became a soldier, still a child at the age of 12, in the Sierra Leone War.
The excerpt presented by you shows how much the war and the situation where Beah lived made him mature a lot and at an early age, since from an early age, he understood the concept of death and especially the concept of death of someone dear and loved. He presents the monkey as a representation of the government, blamed for the deaths and the problems that all citizens in the region are facing, for this reason, the government needs to be removed, killed and overthrown, preventing other people from being killed on his behalf.
I’d say that the answer is c the rest of them seem incomplete.
Answer: D. Take up the White Man's burden— And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—
"The White Man's Burden" is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling. The "burden" refers to the responsibilities Kipling believed colonizers had towards colonized people. From his point of view, the societies that were colonized benefitted greatly from becoming colonies. England provided them with education, technology, health care, a new political system, etc. All things that Kipling believed every society needed and benefitted from.
In this line, Kipling argues that part of the burden is not being appreciated for your contribution. He says that those that you "better" (improve) or "guard" (protect) end up blaming you and hating you. He means that locals end up resenting and hating the colonizers, despite their contributions. He considers this part of the "white man's burden."
