Answer:

Heartfelt or Fearful

Explanation:

In the excerpt before the term waggish is used, the author wrote, "In his heart". Therefore that can eliminate humourous and intelligence which leaves you with a 50/50 chance of either Fearful or Heartfelt.

The term "waggish" most adequately convey the meaning in the context of paragraph 114 would be:

C). Humorous

  • The dictionary meaning of the term "waggish" stands for something 'full of joy,' 'witty,' 'playful,' etc.
  • In the context of the given paragraph, it connotes the meaning 'humorous' as it displays that Scrooge was attempting to not make his actions look amusing.
  • Therefore, 'joking, jolly, or playful' is the most adequate meaning conveyed by the paragraph.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
