A. Materialism

I think this is the answer

Answer:

A. Materialism

Explanation:

Straight out of the dictionary:

"Materialism is the attitude of someone who attached a lot of importance to money and wants to possess a lot of material things ."

Due to inference of a fur coat being expensive, this fits pretty well if the word "materialism" itself was an object. The fox offers the boy something of luxury and riches, which he denied. Materialism fits great with the fur coat since we normally think of money when we see it, perhaps.

The fur coats represents wealth, aka materialism.

(Sorry if this does not me sense lol, its 2:00 AM for me pfftt)

((excuse any typos, sorry!)

Reasons why its not:

B. Wastfulness- the coat would be put to use if the accepted it, so its not wasteful.

C. Enemy Hospitality- nothing in the excerpt says the fox did anything hostile to the boy. thus making an enemy. Only that the fox was sly. The only thing the fox did was offer him a coat.

D. Old age- Fur coats in movies maybe shown worn on older. and elder people of high class ( more reason for why its A!), but it doesn't not mean that fur coats represent old age in general. Fur coats are for anyone. really. How would it show old age??

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG AHAHA I'LL SLEEP NOW
