Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

How does Scrooge reply when his nephew wishes him a merry Christmas in Stave One?

  1. "Bah! Humbug!"
  2. "God bless us, every one!"
  3. "Spirit, I am ready to change!"
  4. "A merry Christmas, uncle!"
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — "Bah! Humbug!"
Award 1 mark. Scrooge dismisses Christmas as nonsense. "God bless us, every one!" is said by Tiny Tim, "A merry Christmas, uncle!" is Fred's own greeting, and a promise to change belongs to the reformed Scrooge, not the man we meet in Stave One.
