D. <em>uncharitable</em>.
The suffix <em>-able</em>, borrowed from Old French and originally from the Latin <em>-ābilis</em> (meaning "worthy of being acted upon"), can have different meanings.
The most common one is "fit/liable to be (done)," as in:
- <em>likeable</em> - fit to be liked
- <em>washable</em> - fit to be washed
- <em>degradable</em> - liable to be degraded.
This, however, does not apply to <em>comfortable</em>. Another meaning of <em>-able</em>, however, is "giving, or inclined to," as in:
- <em>comfortable</em> - giving comfort
- <em>(un)charitable</em> - (not) inclined to charity.
Answer I guess is B. In order to compare how each author uses the same theme, you have to focus on the message received by the reader.
The best answer choice here will be B. =)
