Answer:
The cake most likely symbolize D: Lost love
Step-by-step explanation:
“Great Expectations” is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens. It is a story of an orphan, Pip, who is raised by blacksmith’s family. In his highs and lows, when he gains happiness and even when he loses that luck and happiness, Pip learns to find happiness during all of these. It is a simple story about affection, loyalty, class and wealth.
In the given passage we see the description of cake. Cake is kept in the middle of a long table and is covered with cobwebs which means that wedding did not take place. So, it symbolizes lost love.
