A reader might interpret the allusion as meaning that "Miranda is not very generous with her money." The reference to Scrooge, a character known for his stinginess in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," suggests that Miranda is saving her money rather than spending or sharing it.
Use the sentence to complete the activity.
“‘Even when the business began to earn large profits, I still saved my money like Scrooge,’ Miranda said.”
