DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Decide if each key moment was shown using dialogue or narration.

"Look, Paul," said Hammond. "I'll have a talk with Mitchell, but I'm not going to go beating up on him for you. Understood?“

As fast as my legs would take me, I crossed the meadow, but there was no catching them. Ghost Wind and Mitchell were gone, hidden by the deep green of the forest.

My mama set a lone plate for me on the sideboard in the kitchen. That was truly the first time I felt unwanted in my daddy's family.

slava [35]

Answer:

B). They were wealthy but generous, helping those less fortunate.

Explanation:

The 'Frankenstein' family is best described as the Bourgeoisie European family that has remained quite significant in European history. The famous character 'Victor Frankenstein' of the science fiction titled 'Frankenstein' is also historically rooted around this context.

As per the question, the 'Frankenstein family' was wealthy and possessed great fortune but despite belonging to the elite bourgeoisie class they were quite generous and helped those whom they found 'less fortunate' for a century. However, the family remained 'infamous' and used as 'synonymous' to 'monster' as their scientific experiment failed and went amiss(as in the novel Frankenstein). Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
