Use the cartoon image to answer the question below.
The first statement in the cartoon affirms that the speaker was
- supportive of constituted authority
- jealous of Chief Jeunkoku's wealth
-
aiding and abetting corruption
- discouraging injustice in the land
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
In the cartoon, the speaker mentions attending Chief Jeunkoku's mansion and dancing to the music of a popular musician to welcome the New Year. The speaker then responds to another character's query about the change in music, indicating that things have changed. Then, the speaker mentions that next month, the same Chief Jeunkoku is to face the music for sharing in a big loot, implying involvement in corruption.
Given this context, the first statement in the cartoon suggests that the speaker was participating in a celebration hosted by Chief Jeunkoku, who is later revealed to be corrupt. This means that the speaker is aiding and abetting corruption, as the speaker was involved in an event celebrating a corrupt individual without initially opposing or questioning it.
