Answer:
A. royalty and riches
Explanation:
In the poem "Richard Cory," the inhabitants of the town compare Richard Cory to a king. The comparison arises due to Richard Cory's fortune, which to the common people appears to be gigantic and impressive:
"And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place."
Moreover, we can also see that Richard Cory was not only rich ("riches") but he was also graceful, elegant and well-mannered ("royalty"). These characteristics make him an admirable and enviable person.
