Question

Passage-2:
Oliver Twist, published in 1837, is one of Charles Dickens' most famous works. It tells
the tale of an orphan boy, Oliver Twist, who grows up in poverty in England. In this passage
from Chapter II, Oliver is 9 years old and living in a government workhouse. The officials of
the workhouse choose to feed the residents very little.
Boys have generally excellent appetites. Oliver Twist and his companions suffered the
tortures of slow starvation for three months: at last they got so voracious and wild with hunger,
that one boy, who was tall for his age, and hadn't been used to that sort of thing (for his father
had kept a small cook-shop), hinted darkly to his companions, that unless he had another basin
of gruel per diem, he was afraid he might some night happen to eat the boy who slept next him,
who happened to be a weakly youth of tender age. He had a wild, hungry eye; and they implicitly
believed him. A council was held; lots were cast who should walk up to the master after supper
that evening, and ask for more; and it fell to Oliver Twist. The evening arrived; the boys took
their places. The master, in his cook's uniform, stationed himself at the copper; his pauper
assistants ranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out, and a long grace was said
over the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered each other, and winked at
Oliver; while his next neighbors nudged him. Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger,
and reckless with misery. He rose from the table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon
in hand, said: somewhat alarmed at his own temerity: 'Please, sir, I want some more.' The master
was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupefied astonishment on the small
rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralyzed
with wonder, the boys with fear. "What!' said the master at length, in a faint voice. Please, sir,'
replied Oliver, 'I want some more.' The master aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle;
pinioned him in his arm; and shrieked aloud for the beadle.
