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

Which words in the sentence make up the adverb phrase? Which word does it modify? The furniture store delivery truck came at ten
yulyashka [42]
I would say C. at ten o'clock; modifies came. Adverb phrase always involves when, where, or how. In this sentence, you could ask when did the truck came? Then you adverb phrase would it came at ten o'clock.

I hope this helps!<span />
