Which sentence in this excerpt from james joyce's "araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?

i could not find any sixpenny entrance and, fearing that the bazaar would be closed, i passed in quickly through a turnstile, handing a shilling to a weary-looking man. (i found myself in a big hall girded at half its height by a gallery.) nearly all the stalls were closed and the greater part of the hall was in darkness. (i recognized a silence like that which pervades a church after a service.) (i walked into the centre of the bazaar timidly.) a few people were gathered about the stalls which were still open. before a curtain, over which the words café chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver. (i listened to the fall of the coins.)

everything in parenthesis are the answers, there can only be one answer to the question. i am offering 50 points instead of 10 like most people.

(I listened to the fall of the coins).

Both "avarice" and "greed" refer to an excessive love, or obsession, with material wealth. Therefore, the answer would most likely discuss money, or people who greatly enjoy it. The passage states that two men were counting money, and that the narrator listened to the fall of the coins. This is a way of implying that the bazaar operates due to greed and avarice.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
