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.

Disappointment is what the cake mostly symbolizes. The female character is pointing to a wedding-cake. It has got full of cobwebs because she was not able to get married.

Differentiate solid materials when bent and when pressed, pls help me!
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

 When pressing a solid material it can take a different shape or change in size, however when bending a solid material this does not happen.

Explanation:

Solid state materials at a certain temperature are characterized by:

  • present a high cohesion between the molecules that form it (the particles are united by very high attractive forces that make them remain almost fixed)
  • have a constant shape and volume often forming characteristic geometric structures such as crystalline structures
  • they are incompressible
  • are resistant to fragmentation
  • they do not have fluidity because the particles can only vibrate around fixed positions

A flexible material cannot be molded and only accepts shape changes when bending.

You do not get new materials when pressing a solid material.
