What do you learn about the narrator using the S from STEAL in the following passage?

" 'They did have a few hours' work a month,' I answered. 'They messed up, though.'
'Messed up, you call it, heh?' my wife put in, in her nervous way. 'Well, they got gumption, anyhow. They told them white folks up yonder in the office just what they thought of 'em. That's what they did.'
'And look at 'em now,' I said, 'going through the alley looking for something to eat.' "

a. The narrator believes gumption is more important than survival.

b. The narrator thinks Oyster and his son are messed up.

c. The narrator feels sorry for Oyster and his son looking through the alley to eat on the street.

d. The narrator believes that gumption didn't get Oyster and his son anywhere
