Question

part b
which of the following quotations from the play script best supports the answer to part a?
○ a. ... cratchit... enters, head down, full of guilt. cratchit starts writing almost before he sits.
○ b. bob. i am very sorry, sir. i am behind my time.
○ c. bob. i was making rather merry yesterday and into the night...
○ d. bob cratchit stands, smiles at scrooge: bob cratchit faints.

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely related to Bob Cratchit being late or apologetic). Option B has Bob directly apologizing for being behind time, which would support an answer about his lateness or remorse. Option A shows guilt but is an action description; Option C explains the reason (merry) but not the apology/support for lateness; Option D is a fainting action unrelated to supporting a lateness - related Part A answer. So B is the best.

Answer:

B. Bob. I am very sorry, sir. I am behind my time.
