Match the themes from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note" with the excerpts they represent.

1. the fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of [harris' eating-house]. that was enough. from being a poor, struggling, little hand-to-mouth enterprise, it had become celebrated, and overcrowded with customers.

2. when the crash should come, he might somehow be able to save me from total destruction; i didn't know how, but he might think of a way, maybe.

3. deep in debt, not a cent in the world, a lovely girl's happiness or woe in my hands, and nothing in front of me but a salary which might never--oh, would never--materialize!

4. why, it isn't six months since you were clerking away for blake hopkins in frisco on a salary, and sitting up nights on an extra allowance, me arrange and verify the gould and curry extension papers and statistics. the idea of your being in london, and a vast millionaire, and a colossal celebrity!

5. get those things off, sir, and throw them in the fire. do me the favor to put on this shirt and this suit; it's just the thing, the very thing--plain, rich, modest, and just ducally nobby.

the three theme choices are: "rags to riches" "impending doom" "wealth worship"

the previous answers, including verified, have all been wrong. it's why the question is reposted.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
