1. To determine which word is most similar to "morose," you can examine the meaning of each of the options given:
- "Sensitive" refers to being easily affected or emotionally responsive, but it does not necessarily imply a negative or unhappy state of mind.
- "Silly" refers to being foolish or ridiculous, which is not similar in meaning to "morose."
- "Unhappy" is the correct answer because it directly relates to the state of being morose, which means gloomy, sullen, or unhappy.
- "Stubborn" refers to being determined or persistent, but it does not share the same meaning as "morose."
Therefore, the correct answer is "unhappy."
2. To identify the line that best expresses the meaning of the word "gratitude," you can analyze the context and the content of each line:
- "Why its old Fezziwng! Bless his heart; its Fezziwng alive again!" This line does not directly express gratitude; rather, it expresses surprise and joy at seeing Fezziwig again.
- "The happiness he gave it quite as great as if it cost him a fortune" This line does indeed express gratitude because it acknowledges the immense happiness brought about by Fezziwig's actions, equating it with the value that comes from a significant amount of money.
- "Fezziwig had the power to make us happy or unhappy" This line highlights Fezziwig's influence on the emotions of others but does not explicitly express gratitude.
- "Yo ho, my boys. No more work tonight" This line does not express gratitude but rather signals the end of work for the evening.
Therefore, the correct answer is "The happiness he gave it quite as great as if it cost him a fortune."
