Account for the writer’s feelings in paragraph 1.
Note that this question is a comprehension-type question and an accessible one as you merely have
to “rephrase” the existing words in the paragraph. i.e. “that inspires more than the usual revulsion
towards crude displays of opulence”
Answer:
The writer is disgusted by/pities (writer’s feelings) the flashy/obscene displays of wealth by spoilt
teenagers (account for his feelings).
revulsion = disgusted by
crude displays of opulence = flashy displays of wealth

clothes, dwarfed and dehumanised by their possessions, as if ownership has gone into
reverse.”
