Question

1. what does the quotation from paragraph 1 suggest about the narrators point of view? \a mean sense of humor, if little else, has filled the vacancy between my superiors ears: he has assigned me to continue our necessary work underground.\ a. he believes his superior is resourceful. b. he believes his superior is unintelligent. c. he believes his superior is challenging him. d. he believes his superior has hidden motives.

Explanation:

The narrator jokes that his superior has a "mean sense of humor" filling the "vacancy between my superior's ears"—the phrase "vacancy between ears" is a sarcastic way to call someone unintelligent, as it implies the superior's head is empty (lacking intelligence) and only has this unkind humor. This matches option B.

Answer:

B. He believes his superior is unintelligent.
