Which part of this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens hints that Oliver was not expected to live very long?


A. It cannot be expected that this system of farming would produce any very extraordinary or luxuriant crop.

B. Oliver Twist's ninth birthday found him a pale thin child, somewhat diminutive in stature, and decidedly small in circumference

C. But nature or inheritance had implanted a good sturdy spirit in Oliver's breast. It had had plenty of room to expand, thanks to the spare diet of the establishment; and perhaps to this circumstance may be attributed his having any ninth birth-day at all

D. Be this as it may, however, it was his ninth birthday; and he was keeping it in the coal-cellar with a select party of two other young gentleman, who, after participating with him in a sound thrashing, had been locked up for atrociously presuming to be hungry

Respuesta :

The correct answer is C. In the excerpt (C) from Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens is stated that Oliver's high spirit may be inherited, but may also be attributed to him celebrating his ninth birthday with emphasis on him"having any ninth birth-day at all" which suggests that no one expected, including himself, that he well live to his ninth birthday. Hope this helps :)
