• B. Аppоoppan was arrogant.
• C. The narrator was shy.
• D. The narrator considered appooppan to be an ordinary villager.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The narrator considered appooppan to be an ordinary villager.

The narrator explicitly says:

"I had dismissed him to be an old villager who knew nothing about modern times."

This shows that the narrator’s lack of intimacy with Appooppan stemmed from their assumption and prejudice that Appooppan was just an outdated villager, not worth engaging with.
