Answer:
Charle's Dickens conveyed the importance of Christmas and Tradition in <em>"A Christmas Carol"</em> by showing that Christmas is all about <em>"giving rather than receiving."</em> Instead of spending time at work and being grumpy like Scrooge on Christmas Eve,<em> spending time with family is more important.</em> It also teaches people a lesson that <em>you cannot bring your wealth when you die</em>, thus,<u> it is more important to share your wealth for the common good and the happiness of others.</u>
Explanation:
"A Christmas Carol" is a story written by Charles Dickens, which was published in <em>1843.</em> It centers on the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who was visited by the <em>Three Ghosts of Christmas.</em> These ghosts were meant to teach him a lesson and to show him that<em> family is more important than wealth, especially during Christmas Day.</em> After these events, Scrooge miraculously changed into a reformed person.
Answer:
D). 'On the contrary'
Explanation:
As per the question, option D displays the phrase i.e. 'on the contrary' from the given passage that indicates an opposing or contrary thought as this phrase signals the beginning of the ideas in the passage that would contradict the previous ideas presented. <u>This phrase introduces the alternative idea that challenges the prior idea which states that 'every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish' by offering the contradictory claim that 'selfishly motivated giving has done a lot of good in the world'.</u> Thus, the phrase 'on the contrary' signifies contrast and hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
