Ответ:

  1. Nancy called Oliver her dear little brother because she felt sorry for him and wanted to protect him. She treated him with affection, as if he were her own younger brother.
  2. The bystanders did not help Oliver because they were afraid of the criminals and did not want to become involved.
  3. Oliver thought that resistance would be of no use because he was weak, frightened and surrounded by stronger people who could easily overpower him.
  4. Fagin probably let Sikes have the five-pound note because Sikes was dangerous and Fagin was afraid of him. He may also have hoped that Sikes would use the money to help carry out their plans.
  5. Fagin got a clue to Oliver’s whereabouts because Nancy overheard information about Oliver and Fagin discovered that she had learned it. He suspected that she knew where Oliver was.
