Question

select the correct text in the passage. which statement reflects an idea that conflicts with the passages theme that money controls even the strongest individuals? adapted from vanity fair by william makepeace thackeray my dear, miss crawley has arrived with her fat horses, fat servants, fat spaniel—the great rich miss crawley, with seventy thousand pounds in the five per cents., whom, or i had better say which, her two brothers adore. she looks very disgruntled, the dear soul; no wonder her brothers are anxious about her. you should see them struggling to settle her cushions, or to hand her coffee! when she comes into the country our hall is thrown open, and for a month, at least, you would fancy old sir walpole was come to life again. we have dinner - parties, and drive out in the coach - and - four—the footmen put on their newest canary - coloured liveries. rose came in yesterday in a sad plight—the wiltshire sow (an enormous pet of hers) ran her down, and destroyed a most lovely flowered lilac silk dress by dancing over it —had this happened a week ago, sir pitt would have been furious, but all he said was, ill serve you out, miss, when your aunts gone, and laughed off the accident as quite trivial. let us hope his wrath will have passed away before miss crawleys departure. i hope so, for miss roses sake, i am sure. what a charming reconciler and peacemaker money is! another admirable effect of miss crawley and her seventy thousand pounds is to be seen in the conduct of the two brothers crawley. i mean the baronet and the rector, not our brothers—but the former, who hate each other all the year round, become quite loving at christmas. miss crawley wont hear of their quarrelling, and vows that she will leave her money to the shropshire crawleys if they offend her. if they were clever people, those shropshire crawleys, they might have it all, i think; but the shropshire crawley is a clergyman like his hampshire cousin, and mortally offended miss crawley by some strait - laced notions of morality.

Explanation:

The passage emphasizes how Miss Crawley's wealth influences the behavior of her brothers. We need to find a statement that goes against the idea that money controls even the strongest individuals. Analyzing the text, we look for a sentiment that shows something other than money - influence.
