Explanation:

Part A

En "A Christmas Carol", después de revisitar la fiesta de Navidad de los Fezziwig con el Fantasma del Pasado, Scrooge se arrepiente de su actitud avara hacia Bob Cratchit. La opción A es incorrecta porque no resiente el recuerdo (sino que empieza a reflexionar); la B no es correcta ya que no está perplejo sobre las razones del fantasma, y la D no se refiere a Dick Wilkins en este contexto. La opción C refleja su arrepentimiento por su falta de generosidad.

Para apoyar la respuesta de la Parte A (Scrooge se arrepiente de su avaricia), la cita A muestra su emoción al ver a Fezziwig y su deseo de comunicarse con su empleado actual (Bob Cratchit), lo que indica su cambio de actitud y arrepentimiento. Las otras citas no relacionan su arrepentimiento hacia su actitud con Bob.

Answer:

C. He is sorry that he has been ungenerous toward Bob Cratchit.
