Read this passage from "Black Girl."

"Samba," said the Monsieur, who had come to the kitchen, "the meal was excellent today. You outdid yourself. Madame is very pleased with you.
The cook's helper stood at attention. Samba, the cook, adjusted his tall white hat and made an effort to smile.
"Thank you very much, Monsieur," he said. "I too am happy, very happy, because Monsieur and Madame are happy. Monsieur very nice. My family big, unhappy. Monsieur leave, me no more work."
"We'll be back, my good man. And then, with your talent you'll soon find another job!"
Samba, the cook, wasn't so sure. The whites were stingy. And in a Dakar filled with country people each claiming to be a master cook, it wouldn't be easy to find a job.
Samba's main conflict is that he is
A. upset that Monsieur is leaving Africa.
B. afraid of returning home without a job.
C. worried about how he will support his large family.
D. ashamed that he is dependent on the white's for a job.

Your question is incomplete because option D is fragmented. Thus, the complete options are the following:

A. Upset that Monsieur is leaving Africa.

B. Afraid of returning home without a job.

C. Worried about how he will support his large family.

D. Ashamed that he is dependent on the white’s for a job.

Answer:

C. Worried about how he will support his large family.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the passage from "Black Girl," Samba is worried about how he will provide for his large family once the master is gone. In fact, he mentions that his family miserable: "My family big, unhappy. Monsieur leave, me no more work." Thus, even so Monsier is confident that Samba will find another job as a cook, the latter is not so sure: "And in a Dakar filled with country people each claiming to be a master cook, it wouldn't be easy to find a job."
