Answer 2

Question 1

The correct answer is C.

The author describes Philibert Place in chapter 1. According to the author, Philbert Place is a row of houses which is the most "ugliest" and "dingiest" in London. That the windows and curtain were" dingy". The author explains that the houses are in bad condition as he states that, "the brick fronts of the houses were blackened with smoke".

Question 2

The correct answer is A.

To say that the stone-cutter has objects inscribed with "Sacred to the Memory of" means that he carves tombstones. Where a stone-cutter is seen to have inscriptions on objects with the line "Sacred to the Memory of", it symbolizes death. These inscriptions relate to anything that causes death.
