I believe the correct answer is pleasant and attentive.
The author is stating in the excerpt that he though he would be getting his freedom back because of his 'gentleness and good behavior.' He wanted everyone around him to feel happy but also to do good things in order to be free again.

why does pip mean when he says “I should never like Joe’s trade.I had liked it once,but once was not now”?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

After Pip met Estella and had become infatuated with her he becomes disgusted with his present situation as an assistant to Joe in his forge. In Ch 13 he is formally apprenticed to Joe and the chapter ends with Pip telling us that he was

"truly wretched and had a strong conviction on me that I should never like Joe's trade. I had liked it once, but once was not now."

He analyses his feelings very carefully and records them in minute detail in the next chapter:

"I had believed in the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. Within a single year, all this was changed. Now, it was all coarse and common, and I would not have had Miss Havisham and Estella see it on any account."

Till he was sent to Satis House where he first met and became infatuated with Estella he always looked forward to becoming an apprentice to Joe but after he met Estella he became disgusted with his profession and ashamed of his low social status and in Ch.14 he tells us what he dreaded most:

"What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge."

White raven [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The fact that it has the word "extraneous" in it should be enough to prove my point. In no situation should an essay be difficult to read or understand, given that the point of an essay is to educate.
