Answer:
Bullion is money, specifically gold or silver that has been freshly mined but not cleaned and made into money.
Clues to the meaning include the fact that the kids need "3 dollars", the speaker doesn't know how they wanted all that "money" at one time, and they had to "raise" it, as in "raising money". When he says, "I hadn't any idea where to turn to raise all that bullion..." he means the 3 dollars.
The correct answer would be - A. The ring was too tight for my finger. If you say both of the sentences out loud you can hear which one is a sentence someone would say in conversation and which one sounds incorrect. Hope this helped!
