What is really stated in this passage is that absinthe tastes like licorice, and that everything else that a person waits a long time to try also tastes like licorice. What this passage actually means, however, is that things are better (or seem better) when you wait for them. For example, a driver's license is not an extraordinary thing in itself, but it seems so much better when a person has had to wait his or her whole life to obtain it. The freedom of being on the road may even also be described as "sweet"- like licorice.
The things that people wait for in life (unless they are food-related, technically) do not actually taste like licorice, but it relates the literal action of the story to the figurative meaning behind it by relating to the reader's understanding that things seem sweeter when they have been looked forward to for a long time.

Answer:
A. raise his social status in Estella's eyes.
Explanation:
Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations" tells the story of an orphaned boy named Pip, real name Philip who was taken care of by his sister and her husband Mr. Joe Gargery. Though born in poverty, he came upon a beneficiary who raised him to the upper class of the society and made it possible for him to be a part of the high class.
We learn of Joe's incompetency in reading and writing in chapter VII when Pip asked Joe to spell his name or read the alphabets in the newspaper. Joe then tells Pip about his childhood and how he had been difficult for him to get education during his childhood. Pip then suggests that Joe also learn alongside him, though secretly, so as not to seem lowly in the eyes of Miss Havisham or Estella. Then again in Chapter XIX, Pip tells Biddy that Joe is "<em>rather backward in some things. For instance, in his learning and his manners</em>." While his attempt to educate Joe is with a good heart, it is also mostly to impress Estella who he loves.
