Question

Read the following selection from the text.

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me.
You should have seen how wisely I proceeded-with what caution with what foresight - with
what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week
before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it -
oh so gently!

Answer 1

Your answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

I say this because you can clearly see that throughout the text, this person is mentally ill, thinking that he is being kind! "I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him." Hope this helps :)
