In “The Devil and Tom Walker” Irving is saying that the values in American society lie in the wrong place  chosing wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others.  

Irving sees America becoming greedy and warns the reader not to follow Tom Walkers ´s path that led him to exchange his soul to the devil blinded by his ambition for money. This statement reflects the  popular themes of individualism in the romantic era. The American romantics believed   that a man's choices decided his fate. Washington Irving shows how Tom chooses the wrong direction that led him astray from the true values of humanity.

What can be inferred from this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles dickens?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A. Workhouse authorities were extremely careless in their duties

This is because the passage doesn't say anything about children being weak due to poor nourishment nor parishioners wrongly criticizing their own officials, and if the legal system carefully monitored parish affairs then children wouldn't be getting scalded to death or overlooked.
