The first of the three ghosts foretold by Marley was the ghost of Christmas present?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

The first of the three ghosts foretold by Marley in 'A Christmas Carol' is actually the ghost of Jacob Marley himself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is 2) False.

In Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol, the first of the three ghosts foretold by Marley is actually the ghost of Jacob Marley himself.

Marley warns Scrooge of the three spirits that will visit him: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

Therefore, the ghost of Christmas present is the second of the three ghosts in the story.
