D.collection of things

Answer 2

Answer:

D) Collection of things.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word “miscellany”, following only the context of the passage taken from R.L. Stevenson´s beautiful novel, can be inferred to mean “a collection of things”, in the sense that this list of things refers to several items of a diverse nature, some more valuable than others, and, notwithstanding its diverse nature, it can be said to be a composite totality, a whole or, again, a collection of things.
