Passage 2 On a highway, behind the gate of a vast garden, at the end of which could be discerned the white hues of a pretty manor house bathed in sunlight, was a beautiful, fresh child, clad in those country clothes that are so coquettish. Luxury, freedom from cares, the habitual sight of richest make such children so pretty that one is tempted to consider them molded of a different substance from the children of mediocrity and poverty. Beside him, lying on the grass, was a splendid toy, as fresh as its owner, varnished, gilded, clad in a crimson cloak and covered with plumes and glass beads. But the child was taking no notice of his favorite toy, and this is what he was looking at: On the other side of the gate, out on the roadway, among the nettles and thistles, was another child, dirty, sickly, soiled with soot, one of those pariah-kids in whom an impartial eye would discover beauty, as the eye of a connoisseur can divine an ideal painting underneath a layer of tarnish, if only the repugnant patina of poverty were washed away. -- From “The Poor Child’s Toy” by Charles Baudelaire. The author most likely mentions the physical appearance of the impoverished child in the last paragraph in order to:

A、identify the cause of the child’s poverty.

B、intensify the reader’s sympathetic reaction toward the child.

C、criticize a social upbringing that would allow a child to suffer in such a way.

D、contrast the poverty of the second child with the privilege of the first.
