C. They suggest that the Cratchits dislike golden goblets.
D. They suggest that the Cratchits do not care about fashion.

Answer 1

B. They suggest that the Cratchits have little money — Dickens describes the cups as plain/cheap (worn, humble), signaling the family's poverty rather than a deliberate dislike of fancy items or a focus on tradition.
