Answer: D. Charles Dickens

Explanation

port is situated in between two international shipping lines namely Saudi Arabia & US Singapore. The correct answer is Charles Dickens. Key Points Charles Dickens is the author of the novel 'Oliver Twist'. Charles Dickens’s (1812-1870) second novel, originally published in serial parts 1837-39, and as a three volume edition in 1838. Dickens was deeply disturbed by the harsh Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. Subtitled ' The Parish Boy’s Progress', Oliver Twist conveys concerns about the impact of poverty and the flaws of the workhouse system. Oliver, an orphan, spends his early years in grim institutions. After causing consternation by requesting more food, he is apprenticed to an undertaker, but absconds and becomes part of a pickpocket gang, controlled by the manipulative Fagin. One of the author’s motives was to counter the sensational and glamorous depiction of criminals in ‘Newgate’ fiction, a popular genre of the 1830s.
