Scrooge meets the same portly gentleman at his counting house, who is seeking a charitable donation for the poor. Scrooge initially dismisses him but eventually has a change of heart and promises a generous contribution, signifying his transformation from a miserly to a charitable person.
He made a charitable contribution.
The first visitor to appear to Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" is Jacob Marley, his former business partner. Marley's ghost appears to warn Scrooge about his fate if he does not change his ways.
Social contribution is when someone or a business participates or adds to the community that they belong to. Fundraisers and charitable events are good examples of social contribution.
Scrooge told the two visitors that he was too busy to engage with them and that he did not believe in their supernatural nature. He dismissed them rudely and did not want to listen to what they had to say.
