selfishness

Explanation:

From the drama "Fourteen", Mrs Horace Pringle sets up a dinner party to introduce her daughter Elaine to city's most eligible bachelor Mr Oliver Farnsworth, but weather conditions force some of her guests, including Mr Farnsworth to cancel and this upsets her.

Answer: (just FYI anytime I answer a question based on this play, it says I’ve included profanity if I spell their names out, so I will have to misspell them)

10a juleti is shocked to find that ramio, the man she loves the most, is from the family she hates the most, that she “loves a loathèd enemy” is something she is new to.

10b joliette cannot truly love remoe yet, as she did not know this about him, and has not decided if she loves him despite this family feud. She still has yet to learn everything about him, but she is currently going through infatuation because of his prettyboy face.

What is the connotation of the word *common* as it is used in the excerpt from “The Necklace”?
frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Unrefined

Explanation:

Are you sure your quote is correct?

The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:

"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain  good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:  

"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""

Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.

A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:

"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of  impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With  frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while  washing the floor with great swishes of water."

Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.
