D.“In a job like that you see the dirty work of Empire at close quarters.”

Explanation:

In this sentence, we can see that the speaker is reflecting on the fact that his job is linked to the ugliest parts of colonialism. This is an example of a reflective essay, as the author reflects on the job that he has to perform, and on the links between this, colonialism, and the situation in Burma. He also reflects on the fact that the Empire does not always act well, and in fact, often performs actions that he considers to be "dirty," such as having to shoot this elephant in order to appear strong.

the answer is a, c, d, e
