As established in the quote "It is not a mere business; it is not even mere cynicism. It is mysticism; the horrible mysticism of money." The correct answer is option A. It emphasizes how money, the adoration of millionaires, and the desire for success can be horrible because they all promote greed. Because the quote emphasizes in the mysticism of money, it states that it is not only business, it is about the horrible mysticism of money. If we identify the meaning of mysticism, we can see that it is very related to the spiritual, it is to believe and defend realities coming from the paranormal, the religious or the spiritual. <u>Option A establishes that money is the adoration of millionaires, which is including the mystical in the man - money relationship, likewise, assures that the horrible thing about the desire for success or being a millionaire is that it finally becomes greed for having more.</u>

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Humorous

Explanation:

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.
