Question

Which part of Thai excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens hints that Oliver was not expected to live very long?

Answer 1

Answer :

But nature or inheritance had implanted a good sturdy spirit in Oliver's breast. It had had plenty of room to expand, thanks to the spare diet of the establishment; and perhaps to this circumstance may be attributed his having any ninth birth-day at all

Answer 2

Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens is stated that Oliver’s high spirit

may be inherited, but may be also attributed to him celebrating his ninth

birthday with emphasis on him “having any ninth birth-day at all” which

suggests that no one expected, including himself,  that he will to live to his ninth birthday.
