Answer:

the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings

Explanation:

You can see how the author makes fun of it and points out this behavior in this part of the excerpt:

<em>"[...] I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness[...]"</em>

<em />

They would not blame themselves for giving away that money. They'd not even think about how they were the ones to commit such mistake. They'd blame the one that had the note because otherwise, it'd be their fault.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The prediction a weather forecaster could give about the day would be:

The day will be partially sunny with few clouds, and low wind activity.

Explanation:

To understand the answer we need to understand a few elements here. First of all, Roger is packing a lunch of turkey sandwiches for the family. If the day would be completely sunny he would have gone for fruits, drinks, and sugar-rich food to maintain them hydrated and with enough energy for their system to sustain ventilation and temperature regulation processes. Becca, on the other hand, is making sure she has her inhaler because there is going to be a sunny morning and fresh noon, but also the fact that she is packing sunscreen for all-day means there is going to be clear sky with a great number of sun exposure that could hurt their skin. The inhaler would need for the temperature change from morning to noon, as well as the breathing rhythm under sun conditions. The father is packing the beach chairs with the help of Mark, meaning that there is no need for umbrellas, so the sun is not going to be that strong and there is no need for them to stop any rain.
