I just took a Post Test and it had different excerpts to chose from, but here are the answers to the one on the post test if anyone is looking for them...

"He shrank from touching..."----->Wealth Worship

"I judged that there was going to be a crash..."-----> Impending Doom

"It scared me broad awake..."-----> Impending Doom

"Well, you can imagine how it was with a young fellow..."----> Rags To Riches

"He said he hoped wasn't afraid to trust..."-----> Wealth Worship

These are all correct on the post test... NOT FOR THIS QUESTION.

The author refers to his poor economic situation as he is deep in debt and has now money ("<em>Not a cent in the world </em>"). He further claims his salary would never materialize, implying he would like to be wealthy.

4. Why, it isn't six months since you were clerking away for Blake Hopkins in Frisco on a salary, and sitting up nights on an extra allowance, helping me arrange and verify the Gould and Curry Extension papers and statistics. The idea of your being in London, and a vast millionaire, and a colossal celebrity! - Answer: Rags to riches. The author writes about how the person he refers to was once working on only a salary, going through night shifts to earn an extra allowance and now has become a "<em>vast millionare"</em> in London.

5. Please get those things off, sir, and throw them in the fire. Do me the favor to put on this shirt and this suit; it's just the thing, the very thing--plain, rich, modest, and just ducally nobby. - Answer: Wealth worship. The author is asking of a person to throw his clothing into the fire and wear apparel that would likely make him look wealthy.

If people lose faith in their leader, what happens?
dezoksy [38]
He is no longer their leader, otherwise they would have faith in him. If they lose faith in him, they won’t follow him or his directions, so he can’t possibly be their leader.
