Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, we can see the description of how and elephant was shot and it took it half an hour to die. The narrator describes the situation with sadness and disgust, and he expresses that he could not stand to see how the elephant suffered, so he went away, this means that the correct answer is the corresponding to option 2.

the answer is:  

he is voicing feelings shared by all humans regardless of race.

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.
