The correct answer is: B) We were not regularly allowanced.

Remeber that diction is the writer's choice of words. By choosing some words instead of others, the author can set a mood or inluence the audience. In this case the word "allowanced" sets a formal mood as it is not a common word, it is a word that you can expect from someone of high status. The other sentences use simple words to describe the situation, "bad", "fed" are words that everyone uses on a daily basis.

zhuklara [117]
This part of the excerpt seems to be correct as it reveals that the diet alone is responsible for his ninth birthday: "It 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."
