Answer 2

In "Shooting an Elephant", the statement that best explains Orwell's feelings about his role as a British police officer living in Burma is C. Orwell was frustrated by his position due to constant teasing by the Burmese people.

Orwell states that this is the only time that he felt important because he was hated and teased by a large number of people. The insults, the sneering faces of Burman people "got badly on my nerves". The ones he hated the most were the Buddhist priests, who hanged in the streets and jeered at him and all Europeans.
