The correct answer is Option (D) The narrator tells Margaret that he goes back and forth between hope and depression, and there may be a lot of emergencies to deal with. Therefore, he needs some encouragement from her.

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" tells the story of a young doctor Victor Frankenstein and his desire to go beyond scientific ability. This gothic novel deals with themes of good vs. evil, darkness and light, the greed of mail.

The given excerpt is from a letter that Frankenstein wrote to his sister Margaret about his need to go on the journey.

In it, he mentioned how "[he] preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in [his] path."

He revealed his fluctuating belief in himself, his hopes and his spirits often depressed.

He also revealed how he was "required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain [his] own, when theirs are failing."

The given excerpt shows Victor's inner thoughts and feelings of being alone, far from family. But at the same time, he also revealed his need to work for glory, and the 'job' he has of encouraging others while requiring one for himself. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
