Answer 1

Answer:

D. He is loyal to Sir Oliver and values family honor.

• Charles refuses to sell his uncle's portrait because of his loyalty to Sir Oliver, who is disguised as "Premium" at the time.

• His refusal is a sign of respect for his benefactor, and it shows that Charles values the honor of his family over financial gain.

• Unlike the other portraits, which he sells for personal reasons, this particular portrait represents his connection to Sir Oliver, and his sentiment of loyalty plays a key role in his decision.
