Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Kumalo is hurt and shocked by John's callous selfishness and his willingness to defend his own son at Absalom's expense.

In this novel by Alan Paton (1948), while Kumalo turns to his friends to get a lawyer for his son, Absalom, and endeavors to understand what his son has become, John makes arrangements for his own son's situation, despite this separation being prejudicial to Absalom’s case.
