(B) the artificiality of the whole situation

Answer 1

The correct answer is D)

Step-by-step explanation:

On the 135th page, of the book, Jorgenson's is seen to be under siege.

When the flares were released at him, it is recorded that he lunged to the side, having been wounded, and sought protection from the heap of sandbags.

The narrator's description of Jorgenson's act was almost in derision and appears to mock at him.

Cheers!
