Read the excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else."

I went on lathering his face. My hands began to tremble again. The man could not be aware of this, which was lucky for me. But I wished he had not come in. Probably many of our men had seen him enter the shop. And with the enemy in my house I felt a certain responsibility.

Which statement about the barber is correct?

His goal is to be a loyal revolutionary.
His goal is to harm his customers.

His goal is to be a loyal revolutionary.

Explanation: the barber feels a responsibility because an "enemy" (a target of the revolution) is in his shop and he trembles over the decision—he's conflicted about acting as a revolutionary, not trying to harm customers as a matter of routine.
