according to basil, what did the boy in the guards, sir henry ashton, adrian singleton, and lord kent’s son have in common?

a all had wealthy parents and squandered their wealth like dorian did
b all knew the horrible stories associated with dorian gray
c all came to run after a friendship with dorian gray
d these characters all had their portraits painted by basil hallward

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options based on "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Option a: The boy in the Guards, Sir Henry Ashton, Adrian Singleton, and Lord Kent’s son (along with Dorian) had wealthy parents and squandered wealth, matching Basil’s view. Option b: Not all knew Dorian’s portrait story. Option c: They weren’t running after friendship with Dorian. Option d: Basil didn’t paint all their portraits (only Dorian’s is key). So a is correct.

Answer:

a. All had wealthy parents and squandered their wealth like Dorian did
