When aunt alexandra speaks of people being "trash," she's referring to

their appearance
the quality of their character
their lineage
their manners

The right answer is "their lineage "

For Aunt Alexandra, people who are not descendants of noble families are garbage, do not deserve their consideration, belong are inferior and therefore marginalized and ignored by her. Her opinion by those of noble families is totally the opposite; they deserve all their attention and respect, because they are superior to all, according to her concept.

explanation:   "the magician of menlo park" as he was called, liked to tell an incident that happened when he was 8 years old and came back home crying after attending school for three months because his teacher called him "sterile and unproductive". from nowadays perspective, we can say that thomas alva edison was one of the most persistent and determined man that has ever existed. when edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. the effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80-percent deaf in the other. so as you can see he had to struggle to not so many minor issues but he always succeeded.

sorry no one is gonna answer you if you keep repeating the same question over and over again.
