Answer 2

how Tom and Philip both prove their superiority over each other in different ways can be described as follows;

Explanation:

• Tom's sense of consistency is shattered when he meets Philip Wakem. Tom is obliged to recognize Philip's superiority in other ways.
• despite his inability to comprehend that Philip's disability is incidental and not inherited; and the fact that Philip loves his father gives at least a tiny jolt to Tom's cherished biases.
• Tom, on the other hand, has no ambition to be anything like Philip.
• He retains his disdain for deformity, and the qualities he is most proud of the courage and athletic ability are sufficiently dissimilar to Philip's preferences that they will never be friends.
