Read the excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. "Good day!" said Monsieur Defarge, looking down at the white head that bent low over the shoemaking.
It was raised for a moment, and a very faint voice responded to the salutation, as if it were at a distance:
"Good day!"
"You are still hard at work, I see?"
After a long silence, the head was lifted for another moment, and the voice replied, "Yes -- I am working."
This time, a pair of haggard eyes had looked at the questioner, before the face had dropped again.
What can one infer from the exchange between Monsieur Defarge and the shoemaker?
1.
Monsieur Defarge is annoyed because the shoemaker is split working.
2. The shoemaker does not like being bothered.
O 3.
The shoemaker is eager to talk to Monsieur Defarge.
O 4. The shoemaker is waiting for Monsieur Defarge to help him.

The correct answer is 2. The shoemaker does not like being bothered.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the narrator shows the shoemaker is completely focused on his work and when he is addressed by Monsieur Defarge he shows no interest in speaking to him but only in continuing with his work. This is seen in "It was raised for a moment, and a very faint voice responded to the salutation" because the shoemaker only provides short answers to Monsieur Defarge words and only looks at hem for a few seconds. In this context, it can be inferred (make an educated guess) the shoemaker does not like being bothered.
