Answer 2

Answer:

A) Our pictures have destroyed every restful wall-space

E) They never enjoy a book without wanting to own it

Explanation:

These are the two sentences that Morris uses in order to create a negative impression of accumulating things. In these lines, Morris wants us to think about how people enjoy accumulating things. She argues that this interest in doing so has had terrible consequences for people, as we have lost our sense of peace and ability to truly enjoy things without attempting to possess them.
