Question

Why couldn't Angela get a goose or a ham from the butcher for the family's Christmas dinner? A. The butcher wouldn't sell a goose or a ham to someone with a docket from St. Vincent de Paul Society B. St. Vincent de Paul Society would not give Angela a docket for groceries C. The butcher lied and said he was out of ham and geese. D. Angela refused to buy meat from a protestant butcher. E. Angela was pregnant and could not leave the house in her condition.​

Answer 1

The answer is A

The other answer is incorrect Angela's Ashes says "No goose, says the butcher, no ham. No fancy items when you bring the docket from the St. Vincent de Paul"

Answer 2

C. The butcher lied and said he was out of ham and geese.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the logical option because of the experience of Angela. When she went to buy the meat from the butcher, he lied that there was no ham and geese due to the poverty state of Angela's family. Angela has no option than to purchase the pig's head which they use to cook and eat during the Christmas.
