Question

mark and susie decide to have a yard sale. whatever they didn’t sell, they would donate to their favorite charity. What does the word charity mean here?

Answer 1

The two main definitions of the word "charity" are

1.) An organization that was set up to raise money and give help to those in need.

And

2.) The act of giving money/help to those in need.

In this situation, the charity is a noun/place/thing, not an action, so it would be the first definition. Hope I helped!! :)

Answer 2

In this context, the word "charity" means the act of benefiting others, the needy, the poor, and the unprotected.
