Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

in 2008, more than one million american students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. they made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, others, and improve themselves.

service is other people and being active in your community. for example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. they grow a variety of vegetables. the garden requires regular care. the teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. workers there use the produce to feed people in the community. by tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively make life a bit better for others in their community.

service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. people volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. service is not about earning money. it is not just collecting money to give to a group. it is about action and contributing to the common good. the people who serve as well as those who receive benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. for example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. the soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. those serving learn about compassion and how others can improve life for all.

millions of americans are making society better for themselves and for others. they are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. in return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
