What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive

r Twist?
“It's a nasty trade,” said Mr. Limbkins, when Gamfield had again stated his wish.

“Young boys have been smothered in chimneys before now,” said another gentleman.

“That's acause they damped the straw afore they lit it in the chimbley to make 'em come down again,” said Gamfield; “that's all smoke, and no blaze; vereas smoke ain't o' no use at all in making a boy come down, for it only sinds him to sleep, and that's wot he likes. Boys is wery obstinit, and wery lazy, Gen'l'men, and there's nothink like a good hot blaze to make 'em come down vith a run. It's humane too, gen'l'men, acause, even if they've stuck in the chimbley, roasting their feet makes 'em struggle to hextricate theirselves.”

The best two answers are:<span>parish officials' ignorance of the risks apprentices faced (as can be seen, they thought that using a fire to make the boys move quickly was perfectly reasonable)
the employment of children for hazardous tasks (a difficult and dangerous task like cleaning the chimney was left to the boys)
</span>
<span>a lack of regard for life among the working class - this is not shown much, since the people in the conversation are the elite, not the working class
</span>
<span>the reluctance of young, able-bodied boys to work - this is merely a claim by the parish officials
</span>
<span>the use of parish orphans for raising money for the parish - this is not directly mentioned in the passage, as the orphans are just doing labor, not directly raising money
</span>

Select the correct text in the passage.
ioda

Answer:

The commons stand in terror of thy frown,

And dare not utter aught that might offend,But I can overhear their muttered plaints,Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer because it shows Haemon's reasonable nature seeing that it is quite different from the stance of his stubborn father Creon.

In the lines, he tells his father that he should listen to the people even though the citizens are too scared to air their opinions aloud but they are less than happy with the treatment of Antigone and they are in solidarity with her. Haemon tries to reason with his father by letting him know the displeasure of the people and that he should listen to them.
