select the correct text in the passage.

which lines in this excerpt of charles dickens's a christmas carol reflect the theme of compassion versus material gain?
"but you were always a good man of business, jacob," faltered scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.

"business! " cried the ghost, wringing its hands again. "mankind was my business. the common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. the dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business! "

it held up its chain at arm's length, as if that were the cause of all its unavailing grief, and flung it heavily upon the ground again.

"at this time of the rolling year," the spectre said, "i suffer most. why did i walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed star which led the wise men to a poor abode! were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me! "

scrooge was very much dismayed to hear the spectre going on at this rate, and began to quake exceedingly.

"hear me! " cried the ghost. "my time is nearly gone."

"i will," said scrooge. "but don't be hard upon me! don't be flowery, jacob! pray! "

"how it is that i appear before you in a shape that you can see, i may not tell. i have sat invisible beside you many and many a day."

it was not an agreeable idea. scrooge shivered, and wiped the perspiration from his brow.

"that is no light part of my penance," pursued the ghost. "i am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. a chance and hope of my procuring, ebenezer."

"you were always a good friend to me," said scrooge. "'ee! "
