Question

read the excerpt from \lather and nothing else.\ i went on lathering his face. my hands began to tremble again. the man could not be aware of this, which was lucky for me. but i wished he had not come in. probably many of our men had seen him enter the shop. and with the enemy in my house i felt a certain responsibility. which statement about the barber is correct? his goal is to be a loyal revolutionary? his goal is to harm his revolutionary. his opponents are his customers. he feels torn between staying and running.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the barber is in a difficult situation as he has an enemy in his shop. He is a revolutionary and has a sense of responsibility. He is torn between his revolutionary loyalty and the act of harming the enemy who is at his mercy while getting a shave. He is not keen on harming the man as it goes against his self - perception as a barber, but also feels conflicted due to the man being an enemy.

Answer:

He feels torn between staying and running.
