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.

marysya [2.9K]

"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," by Bob Kaufman, represents the urban poor’s social problems. Kaufman often starts his stanzas with ‘I’ with which he wants to refer the problems of them as personal and to the readers. In need to awaken to the injustice prevailing in society, in his own words states that "extravagant moments of a shock of unrehearsed curiosity," he wants his readers to move themselves from their apathy. The use of ‘I’ refers as if he is conveying from his own personal experiences.
“I can remember four times when I was not crying & once when I was not laughing.
I am kneaded by a million black fingers & nothing about me
improves.”
Kaufman not only addresses those injustices but condemns them. He urges his readers to reject all the social norms that construct society and results in poverty.
Also through the use of the first person, he strives to call for equality in the society.
