Okay we're done the word haggler as used in the
- 00:39
second sentence of paragraph two Right there most nearly means
- 00:43
what And here the essential answers don't go She is
- 00:47
the love that we all write once again A little
- 00:50
context is all we need to get this answer right
- 00:54
A guest to stop dipping in the wintertime was an
- 00:58
unheard of piece of luck let alone a guest who
- 01:01
was no hagler And she was resolved to show herself
- 01:04
worthy of her good fortune Alright well an important thing
- 01:08
to pick up on here is that whatever a haggler
- 01:10
is mrs hall is glad the stranger ain't one so
- 01:15
let's start by nixing answer b it's True that mrs
- 01:18
hall was probably glad that the stranger isn't a person
- 01:20
who's broke However if this is what hagler means then
- 01:23
the way the sentences phrase makes it kind of sounds
- 01:25
like mrs hall sometimes let broke people stay at her
- 01:28
in there's nothing in the pastures to make us think
- 01:30
that mrs hall's ever this charitable and or batted business
- 01:34
the same thing goes for option c yeah there's a
- 01:36
good chance that mrs always glad the stranger isn't a
- 01:39
homeless drifter However we don't see any evidence to suggest
- 01:43
that mrs all ever turned to place into a shelter
- 01:45
for the homeless soup kitchens are great but well they
- 01:48
don't exactly pay the bills he's not in this era
- 01:51
He is a definite knows well First the passengers doesn't
- 01:54
say anything about whether mrs hall cares about fashion one
- 01:56
way or the other but if she did chances are
- 01:59
she wouldn't be all that impressed with the strangers wrapped
- 02:01
from head to toe Weird sunglasses ensemble if hagler men
- 02:06
somebody with no fashion well then the stranger would be
- 02:09
one Yeah the correct answer is a mrs hall's Glad
- 02:12
because the stranger isn't the kind of person tries to
- 02:14
bargain down the products like he pays retail What kind
- 02:17
of person is this He burst into the place flings
- 02:20
a few sovereigns coins money on the table and take
- 02:23
the room He doesn't haggle over the cost They just
- 02:26
pays it right away Of course we're guessing the town 00:02:28.825 --> [endTime] of tipping doesn't have a lot of other options
