Answer:
Charles Dickens criticizes the exploitation of workers during the industrial revolution, especially of children.
Explanation:
Oliver had to work since he was a child. Industrialization increased the number of factories, employment and therefore the need for workers. This led to an increase in child exploitation. Children were workers who worked under the worst conditions and did not receive the same pay as adults. They did not have the same ability to defend themselves so they were easily marginalized and exploited.
Answer: "D. a lack of compassion of all classes toward the suffering of the poor"
Prompt:
Select the correct answer.
Which aspect of industrialized Britain does Charles Dickens criticize in this excerpt from Oliver Twist?
Mr. Gamfield's countenance brightened, as, with a quick step, he returned to the table, and said,
"What'll you give, gen'l'men? Come! Don't be too hard on a poor man. What'll you give?"
"I should say, three pound ten was plenty," said Mr. Limbkins.
"Ten shillings too much," said the gentleman in the white waistcoat.
"Come!" said Gamfield; "say four pound, gen'l'men. Say four pound, and you've got rid of him for good and all. There!"
"Three pound ten,'"repeated Mr. Limbkins, firmly.
"Come! I'll split the diff'erence, gen'l'men," urged Gamfield. "Three pound fifteen."
"Not a farthing more," was the firm reply of Mr. Limbkins.
"You're desperate hard upon me, gen'l'men," said Gamfield, wavering.
"Pooh! pooh! nonsense!" said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. "He'd be cheap with nothing at all, as a premium. Take him, you silly fellow! He's just the boy for you. He wants the stick, now and then: it'll do him good; and his board needn't come very expensive, for he hasn't been overfed since he was born. Ha! ha! ha!"
