input: Text: The Last Monster By GARDNER F. FOX Irgi was the last of his monster race, guardian of a dead planet, master of the secret of immortality. It was he whom the four men from Earth had to conquer to gain that secret—a tentacled monstrosity whom Earthly weapons could not touch. Irgi was the last of his race. There was no one else, now; there had been no others for hundreds and hundreds of years. Irgi had lost count of time dwelling alone amid the marble halls of the eon-ancient city, but he knew that much. There were no others. Only Irgi, alone. He moved now along the ebony flooring, past the white marble walls hung with golden drapes that never withered or shed their aurate luster in the opalescent mists that bathed the city in shimmering whiteness. They hung low, those wispy tendrils of mist, clasping everything in their clinging shelter, destroying dust and germs. Irgi had discovered the mist many years ago, when it was too late to save his kind. He had flung a vast globe of transparent metal above this greatest of the cities of the Urg and filled it with the mist, and in it he had stored the treasures of his people
  Question: What crucial point does Irgi fail to consider when he begins to act to save the people of Earth?
  
   (A) It never crosses his mind that many people on Earth would rather die than face pain inflicted at the hands of a thing that looks like an octopus - Irgi.
   (B) It evidently does not occur to him that a frightened alien race that cannot communicate with him will interpret being restrained and subjected to the pain of the space cancer cleansing treatment as a hostile action.
   (C) It never crosses his mind that some men are evil and selfish, and that some of his captives might not be people of goodwill.
   (D) It evidently does not occur to him that he will not be able to travel to Earth with his equipment, and not enough people from Earth will be able to travel to Urg to make a difference.
  Answer:
output: It evidently does not occur to him that a frightened alien race that cannot communicate with him will interpret being restrained and subjected to the pain of the space cancer cleansing treatment as a hostile action.
