Answer 1

Answer:

A. He leaves it entirely to Charles.

• Sir Oliver ultimately decides to leave his fortune entirely to Charles.

• After observing both nephews and testing their characters, Sir Oliver is disappointed with Joseph's greed and dishonesty, while he is impressed by Charles's more genuine, though flawed, nature.

• This decision reflects Sir Oliver's judgment of their behavior and his preference for Charles as the more deserving heir.
