Which part of this excerpt most clearly reveals that the narrator has monstrous qualities

d. I was rude and took pleasure in being so.

Explanation:

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Notes from the Underground" is a work that was first published in Russian. This novella is part of an introduction to the future novels by the writer while also a response or criticism of the novel "What Is To Be Done?" by Nikolay Chernyshevsky.

In the given passage, the narrator/ speaker reveals how he used to be. He declares that "[he] was rude and took pleasure in being so". Moreover, he also mentioned that "[he] was a spiteful official" which are all suggestive of his bad behavior. But most importantly, the part of the excerpt that reveals his monstrous quality is when he admits "[he] was rude and took pleasure in being so." This shows his ungrateful and unrepentant nature, more like he's proudly declaring it.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
