Read these sentences from paragraph 10. “Well said, uncle Hovenden!” shouted Robert Danforth from the forge, in a full, deep, merry voice, that made the roof re-echo. “And what says Miss Annie to that doctrine? She, I suppose, will think it a genteeler business to tinker up a lady’s watch than to forge a horseshoe or make a gridiron.”

A

B
He is quite annoyed at Annie because he believes she does not admire him as she should.
C
He is a little sarcastic because truly he believes Annie must be impressed by his work.
D
He is using understatement because truly he believes Annie deeply respects the watchmaker.
