Question

read the excerpt from the dark game.mr. h. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city. soon he heard of a british printer in mexico city who had been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. mr. h. intervened with the british minister, who got the frightened printer released from custody and the charges against him dropped. the printer, overjoyed to be free, told mr. h. that he would welcome the opportunity to repay the agent for his intervention. as a matter of fact, mr. h. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for him.which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?○ mr. h. knew the printer would help them upon release from prison○ mr. h. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned printer○ mr. h. and the printer had known each other for a long time○ mr. h. originally had not intended to employ the printers help

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect because the text states the printer offered to help after being released; there's no indication Mr. H knew this would happen beforehand.
• The second option is incorrect because the text focuses on Mr. H's intervention to get a favor, not genuine concern for the printer's false imprisonment.
• The third option is incorrect as there is no mention of a prior long-standing relationship between Mr. H and the printer.
• The fourth option is correct: Mr. H only told the printer about a favor he could do after the printer offered to repay him, showing he did not plan to use the printer's help initially.

Answer:

Mr. H originally had not intended to employ the printer's help
