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 identifies the device exemplified with ג€Did these acts of humility mean that he submitted?ג€ last paragraph?

A. curio
B. query
C. submission
D. rhetorical question E. obviate information
