Answer:

The peddler thought that way because he did not want to be treated in a good way by the ironmaster and his daughter when in reality, he had just stolen some man's hard-earned money.

Yes, I think that he repents and regrets ever stealing from the old man.

This scene tells us that it is wrong to steal from anyone and that everyone must work hard for their own survival and not depend on others' successes for a better life.

Explanation:

The story "The Rattrap" by Selma Lagerlof tells the story of how a peddler of rattraps and a thief became a changed man after a daughter of an ironmaster showed him kindness during one Christmas season. The peddler then decided to rectify his mistakes and became a much better person despite his poor condition.

The given quote is from when he was taken to the Ironmaster's house for the Christmas festival. He had just stolen thirty kronor from an old crofter which no one had known about at the moment. So, the kindness of the ironmaster and his daughter, Edla Willmansson, left him embarrassed or even undeserving.

The statement <em>"why the devil did I take that fellow's money?"</em> suggests that he must be regretting ever stealing from the old man.

This shows us how it is bad and wrong to steal from someone and deprive someone of their hard-earned savings.

How much does Mr. Praed appear to know about Mrs. Warren's profession? How would you characterize his class and moral sensibilit
Olegator [25]
Mr. Praed says he knows nothing of Mrs. Warren's profession, but his behavior indicates otherwise. However, he does not seem bothered by the fact that Mrs. Warren is a "working woman." He is nonjudgmental. As an architect, he is not of the upper class, but of the middle class.

Mr. Crofts, however, is directly involved in Mrs. Warren's profession by the fact that he owns brothels. His moral sensibility is much worse than Mr. Praed's as a result. He is a member of the upper class and feels very entitled to his wealth--also lowering his moral sensibility.

Which of the actions listed can help you to determine the tone of a text?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

C usually doesn't help with anything aside from implying how fast the plot is progressing, or a sudden break/ change from the initial storyline, that kind of thing.

B. The surface level topic is always very apparent, it's the underlying topic that requires knowing what's the tone of the text and some other factors to know.

D. The quantity of adjectives used usually doesn't matter as much as the quality of the adjectives used.

So A is the answer I deducted.
