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

be expected that this system of farming would produce any very extraordinary or luxuriant crop. Oliver Twist's ninth birthday found him a pale thin child, somewhat diminutive in stature, and decidedly small in circumference. 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. Be this as it may, however, it was his ninth birthday; and he was keeping it in the coal-cellar with a select party of two other young gentleman, who, after participating with him in a sound thrashing, had been locked up for atrociously presuming to be hungry, when Mrs. Mann, the good lady of the house, was unexpectedly startled by the apparition of Mr. Bumble, the beadle, striving to undo the wicket of the garden-gate.

This part of the excerpt seems to be correct as it reveals that the diet alone is responsible for his ninth birthday: "It 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:

Hello, you didn't say what the task is, but I assume we have to choose the option that best describes the composition and the format of the excerpt from Douglas A Segar's <em>Introduction to the Ocean Sciences</em>. If so, I would choose D.

Explanation:

I chose D because the excerpt begins with the argument and continues with the conclusion, that is that "<em>terrestrial organisms are relatively easy to study</em>". Then, the study of terrestrial organisms are compared with the study of ocean life, that is not so easy due to its nature of being present "<em>throughout the depth of the ocean waters, and for several meters, or more, into the sediment.</em>" and it is not as easy to reach as the first one.
