Select all the correct answers. What two suggestions about parish officials are made in the last two sentences of this excerpt f

rom Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist? Occasionally, when there was some more than usually interesting inquest upon a parish child who had been overlooked in turning up a bedstead, or inadvertently scalded to death when there happened to be a washing—though the latter accident was very scarce, anything approaching to a washing being of rare occurrence in the farm—the jury would take it into their heads to ask troublesome questions, or the parishioners would rebelliously affix their signatures to a remonstrance. But these impertinences were speedily checked by the evidence of the surgeon, and the testimony of the beadle; the former of whom had always opened the body and found nothing inside (which was very probable indeed), and the latter of whom invariably swore whatever the parish wanted; which was very self-devotional. Besides, the board made periodical pilgrimages to the farm, and always sent the beadle the day before, to say they were going. The children were neat and clean to behold, when they went; and what more would the people have!
They did not know how to perform their duties.

They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children.

They were haughty men who considered themselves very important.

They had a poor opinion of the woman who looked after the children.

They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work.

The correct answers are B&D; They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children. They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work.

Further Explanation:

After reading the excerpt it can be concluded that the evidence was checked in a rapid/speedy manner and they disregarded the dangers the children were in. This shows that they wanted to give the impression they were doing their job without actually putting any effort into finding out the truth of the goings on.

They knew that the children were being overlooked and they all turned a blind eye to the abuses being dealt to the children. Since the jury would ask troublesome questions and the parishioners signing just to be rebellious this shows that the parish children were being deliberately ignored and their suffering was looked over.

<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.

Look again at the last sentence of the excerpt. In your own words, explain briefly what you think this sentence means
irina1246 [14]

"A hospital alone shows what war is."

This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.
