After reading the sentence from "The Sport of the Gods," we can say this is what the narrator suggests by the phrase "if he be a fool":

C. If the visitor falls foolishly in love with New York City.

In the paragraph to which the sentence belongs, author Paul Laurence Dunbar describes what it feels like to fall in love with New York City.

He describes a provincial person, coming to New York for the first time, and all the sensations he will feel:

  • Overwhelmed by beauty.
  • Excited by the novelty.
  • Sad and exasperated at the loneliness.
  • Intoxicated by New York.

The author says that, once that person overcomes the sad part, he will fall in love with New York.

A smart person will leave, go anywhere else. A fool will stay, will let the city become a part of him, and will pity anyone who does not live in New York as well.

With the information above in mind, we can select letter C as the best option.
