【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 题干问：“当他认出这位骑士的时候，农民有何感觉?”材料中说“It was not long before a rider appeared, but the farmer"s heart sank when he recognized him, for it was the great man who lived in a castle nearby.”即因为农民认出这位骑士是住在附近城堡里面的，他认为骑士不会帮助像他这样的农民，所以他应该是感到卑微的。故答案选A。

A、 The rider helped the farmer.
B、 The rider didn"t ask the farmer for money.
