The correct choice is "Algernon scolds Jack for eating sandwiches while eating them himself, satisfying his own needs".

This expose the double standard of manners in society as basic manners require a person not to do an act which they disapprove for others while in this example Algernon does exactly the opposite, scolding Jack for an act which he himself is doing, these are called double standards.
