Section D – Reading
Read the following text and answer the following questions.
Boys have generally excellent appetites. Oliver Twist and his companions suffered the tortures ofslow
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 cookshop), 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 to 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; lotswere 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 arranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace
was said over the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered to each other, and winked at
Oliver; while his next neighbours 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."
