Sir Gilesג€™s irritating reserve, not even excused by a word of apology, reached the limits of his endurance. He respectfully protested. ג€I regret to find, sir,ג€ he said,ג€that I have lost my place in my employerג€™s estimation. The man to whom you confide the superintendence of your clerks and the transaction of your business has,I venture to think, some claim (under the present circumstances) to be trusted.ג€ The banker was now offended on his side.ג€I readily admit your claim,ג€ he answered, ג€when you are sitting at your desk in my office. But, even in these days of strikes, co-operations, and bank holidays, an employer has one privilege left ג€" he has not ceased to be a Man, and he has not forfeited a manג€™s right to keep his own secrets. I fail to see anything in my conduct which has given you just reason to complain.ג€Dennis, rebuked, made his bow in silence, and withdrew.Did these acts of humility mean that he submitted? They meant exactly the contrary. He had made up his mind that Sir Giles Mountjoyג€™s motives should, sooner or later, cease to be mysteries to Sir Giles Mountjoyג€™s clerk.Which selection best describes the overall feeling expressed by Sir Giles in 2nd paragraph?
A. He appreciates that as a valued employee, Dennis has a right to question his employer.
B. Because of the right to strike, Dennis is perfectly justified in his query.
C. Just because the employer/employee relationship has deteriorated due to employee rights, an employee still does not have the right to know all that is in an employerג€™s mind even if it doesnג€™t have to do with work specifically.
D. He is very upset that business is not run as it used to be what with all the changes to appease the employee such as the right to strike, form unions, and have holidays from work. E. He is appalled that Dennis would even question him because he is not behind his desk at work.
