The passage from "Violence" by Festus Iyayi highlights the protagonist's urgent need for money to survive, emphasizing his desperation. The repetition of "if only one naira" and the phrase "he had to go out" convey a sense of urgency and desperation. The passage also mentions the protagonist's lack of friends and his inability to repay a loan, which further emphasizes his desperate situation.

Here's how the other options differ:
A. Feeling of doubt is present, but it's not the primary emphasis of the passage.
B. Feeling of despair is related, but the passage focuses more on the protagonist's desperate actions than his emotional state.
D. Sense of failure is implied, but the passage primarily highlights the protagonist's immediate need for money and his desperation to secure it.

The passage is a poignant portrayal of economic struggle and the desperation that comes with it.
