Each one to his job.”“My fate hangs on the edge of this razor blade.”“But I’m shaking like a regular murderer.”“He should let it grow like some poets, or some priests.”

Answer
A
“I am only a barber. Each one to his job. That’s it. Each one to his job.”
B
“My fate hangs on the edge of this razor blade.”
C
“But I’m shaking like a regular murderer.”
D
“He should let it grow like some poets, or some priests.”

Explanation

The protagonist struggles with whether to kill the captain while shaving him. He ultimately chooses to remain a barber and not become a murderer, resolving the conflict through his commitment to his profession. The quotation “I am only a barber. Each one to his job. That’s it. Each one to his job” best expresses that decision; the other quotations show his uncertainty or describe the captain’s beard.
