Answer 2

Answer:

breaking the bill –>  C. giving change

common clay–>  B. ordinary man

trifle –>  H. small amount

larks –>  F. tricks

Explanation:

The expression "to break the bill" or to "change the bill" is used to describe the action of giving smaller bills or coins (change) for a larger bill. In the excerpt, we can see the character is surprised at the amount of money he is being asked to change. He keeps staring as the bank-note the narrator is reaching toward him, but does not touch it. He thinks of himself as common clay, as an ordinary man who wouldn't dare touch something so valuable. In comparison to that note, the food the narrator has just eaten in the man's restaurant is just a trifle. It is of little value or no importance. He sees the narrator now as someone who deserves respect for being rich, even though plays larks, he does tricks with no intention of harming anyone.
