(from Lord Ashley’s memorandum, 1833) Read the passage carefully and then answer the question.

In the autumn and winter of 1832 I read in The Times some extracts from the evidence taken before Sadler's Committee. I was astonished and disgusted by what I read. I wrote to Sadler offering my services. In February the Rev. George Bull asked me to take up the question that Sadler had been forced to drop. I can perfectly recollect my astonishment, and doubt, and terror, at the proposition.

How does the speaker seem to feel about Sadler’s position?

A. He thinks Sadler gave up his work too easily.

B. He thinks Sadler was made to give up his work.

C. He thinks Sadler did not do a good enough job.

D. He thinks Sadler never did any work in his position.
