2.

He calls the knaves, Jacks, this boy! And what coarse hands he has! and what thick boots.
- Estella
- Mrs Joe
- Miss Haversham
Correct Answer

A. Estella

Explanation

Estella is the correct answer because the given description matches her character. Estella is referred to as a "boy" and is criticized for having coarse hands and thick boots. This description suggests that Estella is not traditionally feminine or refined, which aligns with her character as a cold and unfeeling young woman who is raised to break men's hearts.

3.

Your sister's a master-mind.
- Miss Haversham
- Mrs Joe
- Estella
Correct Answer

A. Mrs Joe

Explanation

The correct answer is Mrs Joe. This is because Mrs Joe is known for being strict and controlling, often exerting her authority over her sister and Pip. She is portrayed as a dominant and overpowering figure in the novel, making her a mastermind in her own way. Miss Haversham and Estella, on the other hand, are manipulative characters but do not exhibit the same level of control and dominance as Mrs Joe.

"What have I done! What have I done!" She wrung her hands and crushed her white hair and returned to this cry over and over again. "What have I done!"
- Mrs Joe
- Estella
- Miss Haversham
Correct Answer

A. Miss Haversham

Explanation

The given excerpt describes a character who is overwhelmed with regret and guilt, repeatedly questioning their actions. The mention of "white hair" suggests that the character is older, which narrows down the options to Mrs Joe and Miss Havisham. However, the mention of "wrung her hands" and the intense emotional reaction indicate a deeper level of remorse, which aligns more closely with Miss Havisham's character. Miss Havisham is known for her regret and obsession with her past actions, making her the most likely answer.

I didn't bring you up by hand to badger people's lives out. It would be blame on me and not praise, I had. People are put in the hulks because they murder, and because they rob and forge, and do all sorts of bad; and they always begin by asking questions. Now, you get along to bed.

- Mrs Joe
- Miss Haversham

A. Mrs Joe

I saw her running at me, shrieking, with a whirl of fire blazing all about her, and soaring at least as many feet above her head as she was high
- Miss Haversham
- Mrs Joe
- Estella
Correct Answer

A. Miss Haversham

Explanation

Based on the given description, the person described as running at the narrator with a whirl of fire blazing all about her is most likely Miss Haversham. This character is known for her eccentric behavior and her obsession with fire, as seen in Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations". Mrs. Joe is the sister of the narrator and Estella is a different character altogether, so they are not the correct answers.

Rate this question:

She was dressed in rich materials - satins and laces and silks - all of white.
- Estella
- Mrs Joe
- Miss Haversham

The quote provided in the question further supports this description, as it mentions that she is dressed in rich materials of white, such as satins, laces, and silks. Miss Havisham is a central character in the novel, known for her eccentric behavior and her desire for revenge.

Rate this question:

You had a child once, whom you loved and lost.....She lived and found powerful friends. She is living now. She is a lady and very beautiful. And I love her.
- Mrs Joe
- Miss Haversham
- Estella
Correct Answer

A. Estella

Explanation

Estella is the correct answer because the passage describes a person who was once a child, loved and lost, and has now grown up to become a lady who is beautiful. The speaker also mentions that they love her, indicating a personal connection. This aligns with Estella's character in the novel "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, where she is the adopted daughter of Miss Havisham and is described as beautiful.
