Explanation:

When writing about literature, it is common to use the present tense (not past tense as in the summary) and to refer to the author by their last name (not first name as "Charles Dickens" is used instead of just "Dickens"). Also, contractions like "wasn't" etc. (but here "Dickens's" is a possessive, not a contraction error in the sense of writing style for literature summaries. The main errors are past - tense usage (C) and using the author's first name (D).

Answer:

c. Choices A and D
