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.
