The quotation that most effectively illustrates the claim that Abraham is most interested in the impact that Tess’s new circumstances will have on him is:
A) “He asked how far away those twinklers were. But occasionally, his childish prattle recurred to what impressed his imagination even more deeply than the wonders of creation. If Tess were made rich by marrying a gentleman, would she have money enough to buy a spyglass.”
