Answer:
1. Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.
2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.
3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.
Explanation:
The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-
1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.
2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".
3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.

Answer:
the answer is sequential.
1. D: the Bishop is kind and caring and even though ValJean is an ex-convict he is still treated like a human being by the Bishop. Calling him 'brother' further shows how he views all people as equals.
2. D: you would expect ValJean to be grateful for the kindness the Bishop shows him and to accept the food and lodging without causing trouble. ValJean is a former criminal but the Bishop trusted him to not steal what he had. ValJean showed the opposite of these expectations by stealing from the Bishop.
3. C: the Bishop welcomes ValJean into his home and treats him like a real human being. The irony is that as soon as someone treats him like a normal person ValJean starts "stuttering like a madman", acting the way everyone before had assumed he would be (crazy).
The difference is that food can be like a salad. And a meal is like chicken with rice and a drink. I hope this helped!
