Answer 4

Actually, the answer is B. Elie Wiesel called his father's knife and spoon "the inheritance" because they were the only things of value that his father had. In his memoir "Night," Wiesel describes how his family had to surrender all their belongings when they were taken to the concentration camps during the Holocaust. His father was left with only a few possessions, and the knife and spoon were among them. These utensils held great significance to Wiesel and his father because they represented their family's inheritance, their last reminder of a life that had been forcibly taken away from them. Their value was not necessarily in terms of money, but rather in the emotional and symbolic connection they had to their past and their identity.
