Answer: D. Disappointment.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, we can see a description of a long table with a tablecloth on it and a big object in the middle, which had a lot of cobwebs. Then we found out that the object is a wedding cake, which according to the excerpt's context, symbolizes disappointment, because with the fact that the cake is covered in cobwebs, we can infer that the wedding didn't happen.

Some artisans' support of the Constitution changed as  They opposed it at first, but then decided it would protect them from violent revolts and allow them to get more education and become more successful. Therefore option D is the correct resposne.

<h3>Who are Artisans?</h3>

An artisan is a competent craftsperson who produces all or most of the material goods they use by hand.

An artisan is someone who uses their hands and traditional methods to make one-of-a-kind, useful, and/or decorative objects. Craftsmen who are masters of their trade produce goods like garments, toys, tools, and furniture.

A guild, usually called a gild, is a group of merchants or craftspeople together for mutual defense and support as well as the advancement of their own fields of expertise. Between the 11th and 16th centuries, guilds developed in Europe and played a significant role in the continent's economy and social structure.
