Which answer choice describes the point of view in this passage from Mark Twain’s account of his visit to France? We noticed that in the jewelry stores they had some things marked "gold" and some labeled "imitation." We wondered at this honesty and askedabout it. We were informed that since most people are not able to tell false gold from the genuine article, the government requires jewelers to have their gold work stamped officially according to its fineness and their imitation work also labeled as false. They told us the jewelers would not dare to violate this law, and that whatever a stranger bought in one of their stores might be depended upon as being strictly what it was said to be. What a wonderful land is France!

A. An American who is offended that the French sell imitation gold

B. An American who is impressed by the honesty of the French

C. An American who wishes he could go back home right away
