b. it shows he loves joe and wants him to be happy.
c. it indicates he plans to run away from home immediately.
d. it suggests he is proud of his upbringing and wants to show it off.

Explanation:

First question (self-worth): The option B aligns with Pip's arc in Great Expectations, where his self-worth is deeply affected by others' (like Estella's) judgments, making it fragile.
Second question (Pip's wish about Joe): This line reveals Pip's internal conflict: he has adopted upper-class values that look down on Joe's "common" upbringing, but he still cares for Joe, so wishing Joe was more genteel shows he blames his own unhappiness on his working-class roots/family context.

Answer:

First question: B. It demonstrates that self-worth is fragile and easily damaged by the judgment of others.
Second question: A. It shows he blames his family for his current unhappiness.
