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>

How has Dally’s character developed from the beginning of the book until now?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: BE SURE TO SWITCH THE WORDING!! TEACHERS CAN DETECT COPYWRITE.

1.  Dally had pulled the kids from the burning  church, and Dally had risked his life and risked going to jail in order to keep Pony and  Johnny safe. He made a difference by caring for his family.

2. Dally robbed the gas station and was running from the cops, he raised the gun he  had, knowing that the cops would think it was loaded. Since he lost Johnny, the only  person he really ever cared about, he had no reason to live. Dally wanted to die.  I haven't read the book in about 3 years so sorry I couldn't find text evidence just look back in the story  (T_T)

3. After Johnny's death and Dally's departure, Ponyboy wanders through the hospital's halls in a daze. Pony is in denial about Johnny's death, and keeps repeating that he isn't dead. He leaves the hospital and roams the streets until a stranger picks him up and drives him home.

Upon arriving home, Pony tells the rest of the gang about Johnny's death and everyone is silent. The phone rings and the call is from Dally. He says that he has just robbed a grocery store and he needs someplace to hideout. The gang members agree to meet at the vacant lot.

Select the answer with parallel​ structure.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer :

Parallel structure is referred to as a situation in English grammar where a grammatical form or structure is repeated within a sentence. Each grammatical form, being similar in structure, thus creates a parallel structure. Parallel structure helps in establishing balance and flow in a sentence. The correct answer with parallel structure is :

The concert begins at​ nine; it ends at midnight.
