greediness
In the passage avarice is used to describe Tom Walker's wife. The contextual clues that help one determine it's meaning is "hidden gold" and "wealthy for life". Since these are the two things that seem to matter to the woman, it can be deduced that avarice means greediness. While she did urge her husband to comply, she is not commanding him - this would suggest bossiness. Also, in this specific part we don't see any evidence that would suggest she is mean or selfish.
Answer:
Autobiography. is the correct answer
Answer:
a backdrop
Explanation:
A setting (or backdrop) is the time and geographic location within a narrative, either nonfiction or fiction. It is a literary element. The setting initiates the main backdrop and mood for a story.
Sentence 2 This was around the time that the United States men’s ice hockey team shocked the world by winning the gold medal in the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.
The purpose of this paragraph is to show how Dr. Farrow and Mrs. Lane created an arboretum and save a grove of Sycamore trees. Sentences 1, 3, 4, and 5 all add to the purpose of the paragraph. Sentence 2, however, talks about the US men's ice hockey team winning the gold medal. This win had nothing to do with the arboretum or saving the Sycamore trees. While interesting, it does not belong in this passage.
