5. Because of the expensive antiques they had accumulated, Tony and Cara

A. could barely move in their house.
B. had extra money to spend.
C. were design experts.
D. bought brand new furniture.

MY ANSWER: B

Without context, there's no way to tell if you're right or not.

It doesn't come with a selection/articles but accumulated is supposed to be underlined

well, i disagree.

accumulate means to collect. or in this case, buy. so if they BOUGHT EXPENSIVE antiques, they WOULD NOT have money.

i would go for D

Thank You Both

I'll weigh in with A.

It doesn't say whether they bought or inherited the antiques.

I have a lot of antique furniture that I inherited.

That was my second guess

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the given information. The question states that Tony and Cara had accumulated expensive antiques. From this information, we can infer that they must have had a significant amount of money to purchase these valuable items.

Option A, "could barely move in their house," is not a logical conclusion based solely on the fact that they had expensive antiques. The accumulation of antiques may make their house crowded, but it doesn't necessarily imply that they can't move around.

Option B, "had extra money to spend," aligns with our reasoning. If Tony and Cara were able to accumulate expensive antiques, it suggests that they had more money than what was required for basic expenses, leaving them with extra funds to spend.

Option C, "were design experts," is not supported by the information given. While they may have an appreciation for antiques, it is not necessarily an indicator that they are design experts.

Option D, "bought brand new furniture," is not likely based on the information provided. The focus is on their accumulation of expensive antiques, not their purchase of brand new furniture.

Given this analysis, I would agree with your answer, which is option B: "had extra money to spend."
