Answer:

The word sagacity means:

- good judgment.

The word bestowing means:

- providing.

Explanation:

"Sagacity" has to do with wisdom and perspicacity, that is, the ability to see to a great distance, in this case, figuratively speaking. Therefore, when mentioning "the strong sagacity (...) which seem(s) almost the birthright of the natives of the West Riding", the author means they are farsighted and have good judgement.

"Bestowing" means conceding, granting, providing. By saying "From rarely requiring the assistance of others, he comes to doubt the power of bestowing it", the author means the natives of the West Riding do not rely on getting or providing assistance to their neighbors.

This is called word analysis.
When you are trying to figure out what a particular word means, you are obviously going to analyze it. Maybe you know what its root means, or you can deduce the meaning based on its prefixes and suffixes. You will probably take into consideration the context and neighboring words in the sentence as well in order to analyze it.

Which sample conflict is the most similar to the conflict in “the necklace”
aniked [119]

Well I've read the original...It all started after she was borrowing a necklace from a friend to look fancy when she goes to this ball/meeting. Then she looses it so the best guest is A because her and her husband were struggling to go from jewelry store to jewelry store looking for a necklace that looked just like the one she lost.
