That would be Wealth worship because they only go to his business because he is rich.

Answer:

Option B. The theme of "wealth worship" is the correct option that goes with the excerpt.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1.000.000 Bank-Note" the author shows how powerful can be the perception of wealth in society. Once everyone in the community found about the stranger that carried million-pound bill in his vest pocket, they all started to attend the same restaurant he did. Although people knew nothing about this foreign man nor they were previously interested in eating at that specific restaurant, all of that changed once the man had the reputation of being wealthy.
