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.

Little by little, the stressful external forces this pandemic unleashed are exerting a deep internal effect. The pandemic affects our psyches three ways: It influences how we think, how we relate to others and what we value.
