the second my answer is b

I think you are correct on both.

For the first question, to determine the correct answer based on the information provided, we need to analyze the situation. In the story "A Tale of Two Cities", the fact that people crowd the area where the wine was spilled and drink it suggests that they have been living in poverty and depravity. This behavior indicates that they are desperate for any form of sustenance and are willing to consume even spilled wine. Therefore, the correct answer is b) these people have been living in poverty and depravity.

For the second question, the reason why Monsieur Defarge keeps Mr. Manette locked in his room can be determined by understanding the context of the story. In "A Tale of Two Cities", Monsieur Defarge keeps Mr. Manette locked in his room because freedom may scare him. Monsieur Defarge is aware of Mr. Manette's history of imprisonment and believes that suddenly giving him freedom could potentially cause him severe psychological distress. Therefore, the correct answer is b) freedom may scare Mr. Manette.
