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.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

6 rainy days

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of days = 30

Let:

number of rainy days = x

From the question, for every rainy day, there wer 4 sunny days ;

Hence,

Number of sunny days = 4x

Therefore,;

Number of rainy days + number of sunny days = number of days in the month

x + 4x = 30

5x = 30

Divide both sides by 5

5x / 5 = 30 / 5

x = 6

Hence, there were 6 rainy days in the month
