Объяснение:

Answer 2

a. Charles Dickens was 58 years old when he died. He was born on February 7, 1812, and passed away on June 9, 1870.

b. Charles Dickens had seven brothers and sisters. He was the second of eight children in his family.

c. Charles Dickens did well in school initially, but his family's financial difficulties led him to leave school and work at a young age.

d. Charles Dickens left school when he was around 11 years old because his father, John Dickens, was imprisoned for debt, and the family could not afford to pay for his education.

e. It's not clear which specific individual you're referring to being in prison. If you're asking about Charles Dickens himself, he was not in prison during his lifetime. However, he did write about prisons and the harsh conditions within them in his novels, notably in "Oliver Twist" and "Great Expectations."

f. In his first job, Charles Dickens worked at Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a boot-blacking factory. He was employed there to paste labels on pots of blacking (shoe polish). This experience had a profound impact on him and influenced his later writings.

g. Charles Dickens' next job was working as a law clerk and then a shorthand reporter in a law office.

h. Charles Dickens' home life was not entirely happy. His family faced financial difficulties, and his father's imprisonment had a significant impact on his childhood. Later in life, Dickens had a strained marriage and separated from his wife, Catherine Dickens, in 1858.

i. Charles Dickens did not stop writing until his death. He continued to write novels, short stories, and essays throughout his life. Some of his most famous works were written in the later years of his career, including "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Great Expectations."
