Select the correct answer. Read the excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. What does Scrooge’s reaction to what the

Ghost of Jacob Marley tells him reveal about Scrooge? “You will be haunted,” resumed the Ghost, “by Three Spirits.” Scrooge’s countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost’s had done. “Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob?” he demanded, in a faltering voice. “It is.” “I—I think I’d rather not,” said Scrooge. “Without their visits,” said the Ghost, “you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first to-morrow, when the bell tolls One.” “Couldn’t I take ’em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?” hinted Scrooge. “Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The third upon the next night when the last stroke of Twelve has ceased to vibrate. Look to see me no more; and look that, for your own sake, you remember what has passed between us!” A. He is a fearful man who does not like to think about the existence of ghosts. B. He is hesitant to face the ordeal that Marley is telling him he will undergo soon. C. He is not used to taking orders from Jacob Marley because he used to be Marley’s boss. D. He doesn’t see any problem with Marley’s fate and has no desire to avoid it.

stiv31 [10]
In Marcus Zukak's novel The Book Thief, Rudy Steiner behaves in a dangerous fashion. Rudy openly admires the Olympic athlete Jessie Owens, an African-American, something which goes against the white supremacy of Nazi Germany, where he lives.  He becomes active in the anti-Nazi resistance movement due to his disbelief in the Nazi's racist ideology.  His athletic gifts and frequent winning of foot races attracts the attention of the Nazi leadership, especially given Rudy's outspoken doubt in the Nazi party's belief in white supremacy.  Rudy's activity leads to his eventual death at the hand of the Nazis.

Answer:

And when . . . people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals.

Explanation:

An ellipsis is a series of three dots that is used to indicate the omission of surplus words that can be understood or decoded by examining context clues.

In the excerpt above, the omission of the figures 100, and 1,000,000 still allowed for the retention of the meaning of the passage. Therefore, an ellipsis can be used to replace these figures and shorten Anthony's words.
