Answer:
B "One object I had in placing Bartleby so handy to me behind the screen, was to avail myself of his services on such trivial occasions."
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street” by Herman Melville. The narrator of the story is a lawyer who hired Bartleby as his scrivener to help with copying of documents.
This employer - employee relation is best seen in the narrator's explanation of the place of Bartleby's desk in the office and the reason why he placed him there, which provides evidence Bartleby is the narrator's clerk.
