1. Read the passage below.
"Well, Tom's got the real article, if ever a fellow had," rejoined the other. "Why, last fall, I let him go to Cincinnati alone, to do business for me, and bring home five hundred dollars. Tom,' says!
to him, trust you, because I think you're a Christian-I know you wouldn't cheat.' Tom comes back, sure enough; I knew he would. Some low fellows, they say, said to him-'Tom, why don't
you make tracks for Canada?' 'Ah, master trusted me, and I couldn't--they told me about it. I am sorry to part with Tom, I must say. You ought to let him cover the whole balance of the debt;
and you would, Haley, if you had any conscience."
What is ironic about Shelby's use of the word conscience to refer to Haley's business practices?
O Haley has a stronger moral conscience than Shelby
Shelby has no conscience about handing over Tom.
ONeither Tom, Shelby, nor Haley has much of a conscience.
O Shelby his mistaken Haley for a man with conscience.
