What was the "such reasoning"?

To determine the result of the honest man's decision in the passage, let's analyze the provided information. The passage states that the honest man started going out in the evening and returning the following morning, like others in the community, but he did not steal. He even went as far as the bridge to watch the water flow. However, upon returning home, he discovered that he had been robbed.

Based on this information, we can infer that the honest man's decision did not have a positive outcome (option B). Instead, his decision seemed to have made matters worse (option A). By not engaging in theft and following the actions of others in his community, he still fell victim to robbery.

Therefore, the best answer is A. He made matters worse.
