Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is about the personal development and growth of Pip, an orphan. Another character in the book who have entered popular culture is Miss Havisham.
The clocks that are stopped at 8:40 in Miss Havisham's house represent A. the death of her dreams when she found out her fiancé was leaving her at the altar. In pursuit of her to “freeze time,” she stopped all the clocks at 8.40 because her groom left her leaving a note which she received at 8.40.

First of all, we need to establish two definitions here. the first one is Americanism that is the attachment to ideas and traditions in the USA, basically being an absolute patriot.
The second word is fiend which is a person who has negative intentions towards your feelings and in general, to anything other people value.
Taking this in consideration we can say that the correct answer is It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic since he is a fiend for Americanism he won't stop in his objective of going against anything that is opposite to his beliefs.

Answer:
C. They are unlikely to follow conventional paths in life.
Explanation:
Answer C
Correct. The author tells the Class of 1990 that they “need not, probably cannot, live a ‘paint-by-numbers’ [formulaic or conventional] life” because they “have a first class education from a first class school.” She uses this as an opportunity to offer her audience advice on how to approach the unconventional lives they should look forward to by asking them to “consider making three very special choices”: to “believe in something larger than yourself,” to find “the joy in life,” and to “cherish your human connections.”
Hope this will help
