Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
'Oliver Twist' is a novel written by Charles Dickens. The story is about an orphan boy named Oliver Twist.
In Chapter 2, when Oliver arrives at the workhouse, he finds that the food that needs to be to given to boys were assigned by the board. The board decided that the boys will be fed 'one porringer' and not more than that.
After having 'one porringer' for three months, the boy became starved, as this meal was not enough to quench their hunger. So, a large boy tricked other boys in asking for more gruel by intimidating that if he will not have enough food to eat, then he might eat one of the boy sleeping nect to him; and when the lot fell on Oliver, for who will ask for more gruel, he asked the master for more food.
Therefore, option B is correct.
