Among the options, the one that most closely shows the meaning of "odious" as used in paragraph 80 of "A Christmas Carol" is:

A. Hateful

In general, the adjective "odious" is used to refer to something or someone who is unpleasant, dislikable, or repulsive.

In the story "A Christmas Carol," the word "odious" appears in the following manner:

<em>"It should be Christmas Day, I am sure," said she, "on which one drinks the health of such an </em><u><em>odious</em></u><em>, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge."</em>

Here, the word is being used to talk about the main character, Mr. Scrooge, who is quite a hateful man.

Hateful not only means "filled with hatred" but also "very unpleasant". As we can see, it works as a synonym of "odious".

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.

The complete question with options is as follows:

What does the term "odious" most closely mean as used in paragraph 80?

A. Hateful

B. Old and frail

C. Amusing

D. Foul-smelling and unclean

Transcendentalism

First published Thu Feb 6, 2003; substantive revision Fri Aug 30, 2019

Transcendentalism is an American literary, philosophical, religious, and political movement of the early nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other important transcendentalists were Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Lydia Maria Child, Amos Bronson Alcott, Frederic Henry Hedge, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and Theodore Parker. Stimulated by English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Herder and Schleiermacher, and the skepticism of Hume, the transcendentalists operated with the sense that a new era was at hand. They were critics of their contemporary society for its unthinking conformity, and urged that each person find, in Emerson’s words, “an original relation to the universe” (O, 3). Emerson and Thoreau sought this relation in solitude amidst nature, and in their writing. By the 1840s they, along with other transcendentalists, were engaged in the social experiments of Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Walden; and, by the 1850s in an increasingly urgent critique of American slavery.
