Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is c) he realised he had not paid enough attention to learning French.

Explanation:

Background:
The following question is related to the story, 'The Last Lesson,' by Alphonse Daudet. The story is set in the background of the Franco-Prussian war fought between Prussia and France in 1870-71. The Prussians captured the districts of Alsace and Lorraine, and new orders were issued that ordered only the German language to be taught in place of French in these two districts.
The story's theme is linguistic chauvinism of the mighty and proud conquerors and the agony inflicted on the people of a Alsace and Lorraine by taking away the right to study or speak their native language, depriving them of their pride, prestige and glory.

Thus, Old Hauser had brought his old spelling book with him, as it was the last lesson in French in the school of Alsace and Lorraine and he felt miserable and guilty about not being able to speak his mother tongue.
