Which sentence in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?

inn [45]

Answer:

Before a curtain, over which the words Café Chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver.

Explanation:

This sentence illustrates the avarice present in the bazaar. It seems that this place was not meant to sell things for good profits but for greed to be sensed. Two men were counting some money on a tray , which gives the idea that it was not a lot. Yet, the two men could have felt some pleasure in counting the money from a tray while being at the café.

Read the sidebar titled “A Champion for the Soil” from Years of Dust.

Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is the last option "A photo of Hugh Bennett speaking"

Explanation:

There are multiple reasons why a photo of Hugh Bennet is the most appropriate image to support this sidebar. First of all, in this sidebar, there are different quotes by Hugh Bennet expressing his thoughts or opinions about the impact of Americans in the land. Also, at the end of the sidebar, there is additional information about the life of Hugh Bennet which supports the previous text of the sidebar. Finally, any of the other options seemed to be related to the sidebar, we do not know who Dorothea Lange is, the article is not related to child work, and the Dust Bowl region is not specifically mentioned.
