Read the following passage:
Forgive the interruption, dear reader, but I’ll have you know this is going to be an adventure for me, too. It’s not easy being an inanimate object worth enough American dollars to feed a family of six in Chad for over forty thousand years. (Or 4,077 families of six for a decade each. How my value is distributed is of no concern to me.)
That is no exaggeration.)
Right now, that dastardly George Washington has his ugly green face smashed against mine, and there’s a month-old Chick-fil-A receipt pressed against my behind without my consent. To top it off, the person who shoved me into this lackluster billfold truly has forgotten about me.
The indignity of it all is appalling considering my value, don’t you think?
Make an inference as to who or what the speaker in this passage might be. What details did you use to help you reach this conclusion?

Ответ:
An old coin, winning lottery ticket, or an old dollar.
Explanation:
It seems that the objects setting is in a wallet because it has a receipt, George Washington's ugly green face(a dollar), and I believe the " lackluster billfold" the narrator speaks of is part of a wallet. The object saying it is worth so much money, but is stuffed into a wallet and forgotten about leads me to infer that it could be an old and rather valuable form of currency that blends in, making the person "truly forget about me". Another option is a lottery ticket, the winning one too if its worth so much money, and people often put them into wallets and such and forget about them. These things lead me to conclude that the object is either an old coin, winning lottery ticket, or an old dollar.
Ответ:
some worthy thing in a wallet; could be an really old dollar bill, or really old coin that's made of something really expensive.
Inanimate means; not alive
The speaker is worth a lot of money
George Washington is green and that most likely means he's a dollar bill.
Some people put receipts in their wallets right?
Billfold means; wallet
So the speaker is a forgotten, valuable (or the person who owns the wallet doesn't know the value and is too lazy to take it out), non-living thing in a wallet.
