Explanation:

Question 7

The first spirit (Ghost of Christmas Past) has features of both old and young. Its white hair and wrinkled face make it look old, while its overall small, delicate build and youthful eyes/expressions make it look like a child. This is from "A Christmas Carol" where the spirit embodies the past, with old - like traits from the passage of time and child - like traits from the youthful memories it represents.

In "A Christmas Carol", when Scrooge sees his younger self playing, he notices that he was a happy child even though he was poor. Option a is incorrect as the text doesn't focus on the number of toys. Option b is wrong as he had friends (implied in his childhood scenes). Option d is incorrect as he did celebrate Christmas in his own way as a child.

In "A Christmas Carol", Scrooge's former girlfriend is Belle. This is a key character from the story, and her relationship with Scrooge is an important part of his past shown by the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Answer:

What made the first spirit look like an old man? Its white hair and wrinkled face.
What made the first spirit look like a child? Its small, delicate build and youthful - looking eyes/expressions.
