I NEED HELP ASAP ILL GIVE 10 POINTS Read the passage. One day my charwoman, a working man's wife, came to beg me to honor her sister's wedding with my presence. If you are to realize what this wedding was like, you must know that I paid my charwoman, poor creature, four francs a month; for which sum she came every morning to make my bed, clean my shoes, brush my clothes, sweep the room, and make ready my breakfast, before going to her day's work of turning the handle of a machine, at which hard drudgery she earned fivepence. Her husband, a cabinetmaker, made four francs a day at his trade; but as they had three children, it was all that they could do to gain an honest living. Yet I have never met with more sterling honesty than in this man and his wife. (from "Facino Cane" by Honoré de Balzac) What does the author's use of the term "sterling" in the last sentence mostly imply about the charwoman and her husband?
1. They have earned the admiration of the narrator.
02. They have widespread recognition as hard workers.
O 3. They have proven that they are able to live on very little.
4. They have struggled to save money for the sister's wedding.
