Which statement about the president in The Hunger Games is best supported by the passage below
(paragraph 6)?
Like imperial Rome, the country of The Hunger Games is a once-free society now dominated by a corrupt
and rapacious capital city. A president exercises, in effect, the power of an emperor. He lives in a grand city
called the Capitol, and his government feeds off its provinces, much as ancient Rome did. The people of the
Capitol radiate a baroque and overripe luxuriousness, like the lords and ladies of imperial Rome, while the
provincials are poor and virtuous.
A.The president believes that he's done all that he possibly can for his people.
B.The president feels that the officials in the Capitol work hard.
C.The president is afraid he will be assassinated by his officials.
D.The president cares more about rewarding himself and his friends than being a fair ruler.
