Explanation:

To answer this, we need to know the previous question's answer (likely about the author's view of certain individuals). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about presenting evidence of vexations, not about the view of individuals. Eliminate.
• Option B: Describes emotional reactions to a situation, not about the view of individuals. Eliminate.
• Option C: States the author does not believe the "honorable and high - minded individuals" intended negative actions, blaming "a few unauthorized individuals" instead. This supports a view of distinguishing between groups of people (the honorable ones vs. the unauthorized).
• Option D: Is an appeal to justice, not about the view of individuals. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. "... nor can we believe it to be the design of these honorable and high minded individuals, who stand at th by the acts of a few unauthorized individuals."
