"of the fish patrolmen under whom we served at various times, charley le grant and i were agreed, i think, that neil partington was the best. he was neither dishonest nor cowardly…" what does this description imply about other fish patrolmen? a. some were too strict while others had no rules to follow. b. some were poor leaders who did not understand their job. c. some were afraid to do their job while others took bribes from fishermen. d. some did not trust their employees and imposed unfair guidelines on their crews. the answer is c. some were afraid to do their job while others took bribes from fishermen.

Within the excerpt we see that Neil Partington is noted as being the best fish patrolman.  This statement is made, then rationale is provided by the direct characterization of Neil Partington as being “neither dishonest nor cowardly.”  Because he was not cowardly, it can be assumed that he is brave in the line of duty.  Additionally, because he does not take bribes, it can be assumed that he does not take bribes, the nature of which is dishonest.  Thus, best response is “C. Some were afraid to do their job while others took bribes from fishermen.”

d. cassius cannot believe that a weakling like caesar has become so great.
