What does the passage imply?

The passage from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is narrated by a poor man. As a matter of fact, he is so poor that, even though he feels mistreated, he does not believe he can do anything about it. After all, those who mistreated him are rich.

We can say, thus, that the passage implies that poor people were expected to tolerate any ridicule made by the rich. So much so that the narrator walks away feeling insulted, but does not do anything to confront those who insulted him.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.
