Question

Which sentence in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?

Answer 1

(I listened to the fall of the coins.) Is the passage you are looking for. 

Answer 2

Answer: (I listened to the fall of the coins).

Both "avarice" and "greed" refer to an excessive love, or obsession, with material wealth. Therefore, the answer would most likely discuss money, or people who greatly enjoy it. The passage states that two men were counting money, and that the narrator listened to the fall of the coins. This is a way of implying that the bazaar operates due to greed and avarice.
