Read this excerpt from Charles Dickens's novel Great Expectations: The most prominent object was a long table with a tablecloth
spread on it. . . . An épergne or centre-piece of some kind was in the middle of this cloth; it was so heavily overhung with cobwebs that its form was quite undistinguishable. . . . "What do you think that is?" she asked me, again pointing with her stick; "that, where those cobwebs are?" . . . "It's a great cake. A bride-cake. Mine!" What does the cake most likely symbolize? A. Letting go of bad memories
B. Thinking about the future
C. Holding on to the past
D. Remembering happy occasions
