Which sentence from Frankenstein best supports what the Creature most hopes for from the people he calls his “protectors”?

• I learned, from the views of social life which it developed, to admire their virtues and to deprecate the vices of mankind.

• They did not appear rich, but they were contented and happy; their feelings were serene and peaceful, while mine became every day more tumultuous.

• The more I saw of them, the greater became my desire to claim their protection and kindness; my heart yearned to be known and loved by these amiable creatures; to see their sweet looks directed towards me with affection was the utmost limit of my ambition.

• My voice, although harsh, had nothing terrible in it; I thought, therefore, that if in the absence of his children I could gain the good will and mediation of the old De Lacey, I might by his means be tolerated by my younger protectors.
