In stave 1, when people asking for donations for the poor, Scrooge said that they should just send the people to workhouses and prisons if they are in debt. When the men said that some would rather die than go to workhouses and prisons, he said that they should just go and die and reduce the surplus population. He also refuses to come to his nephew's Christmas party, chases away a caroler boy, and abuses Bob Cratchit. Jacob Marley, who has been dead for like 7 years, comes to him, and says that 3 ghosts will come to him, in hopes that he will change becuase he doesn't want him to suffer the same fate that he himself did. however once ghosts come to him, he changes, and gives a large check to the donation men, raises Bob Cratchit's pay, and becomes a nice guy, showing that he did indeed change, because the Scrooge that was in stave one would never get near a check that has a word relating to charity on it.

Explanation:

I did not copy or paste, I just had to read the book and take a bunch of comprehenshion checks on it.

My deepest condolences that you have to read a book as boring as that.

I hope this helped you.

Answer:

d. "Hard times always after a poor man. One day I got tired, sat down to rest a spell and felt a tap on my.

Explanation:

Indeed, this very statement makes the reader gets an overview of the character of Lemon Brown.

The use of the expression, "always" allows the reader to imagine a poor man who has and would still face "hard times" as the story develops.

In Paragraph 1 Of The Section“Doc-Lap at Last,” the author says, “The Americans cringed at the thought of a Communist Vietnam.”

Answer:

I think that cringe means that a response to embarrasement. But right now in this text I think this word means that they didn't want that to happen. Or they thought that was not good. Hopefully it's right. I mean that's just my opinion. :D
