Answer 1

Answer:

Condescending disrespect.

Explanation:

The word "snicker" is used to talk or refer to an act of scornful, disrespectful half-suppressed laugh. This act of showing a negative attitude is aimed at making the other person feel bad or be disrespected.

In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", T. S. Eliot talks about the "Eternal footman" snickering at him. Here, the "eternal footman" is death, which Prufrock uses to refer to his irrelevance, for he considers himself unimportant. Here, Prufrock feels that death snickers at him because "[He is] no prophet — and here’s no great matter."

Thus, the correct answer is condescending disrespect.
