    Explanation
    The spectral apparition leads the sorrowful man into the confines of a school, where the atmosphere is stark and desolate.

    A. Greed
    Explanation
    The young woman in Stave 2 did not marry Scrooge because of his greed. Greed can be seen as a negative trait that can greatly affect a relationship.

This would have made him an unsuitable partner for the young woman, who probably desired a more emotionally fulfilling relationship rather than one driven by greed.
