The author, Rudyard Kipling, was born in India during the era when Britain ruled India. During his time in India, he learned much about India's language and culture, including the strict caste system that ranked people into different tiers of society. Which aspect of the excerpt from "How the Camel Got Its Hump" reflects Kipling's background
experiences?

"At the end of the day the Man called the Horse and the Dog and the O together, and said, "Three, O Three, I'm very sorry for you (with the world so new-and-all); but that Humph-thing in the
Desert can't work, or he would have been here by now, so I am going to leave him alone, and you must work double-time to make up for it."

1. The Man chooses not to interact with the Camel, leaving the Camel to pursue his own course

2. The Man uses animals to do farm work, just as farmers use horses, cows, and oxen to do work

3. Camels are unwilling to interact with humans.

4. The animals work for the Man, just as many Indian people must work for the wealthy and the powerful.
