When I think of the lollies I licked, And the liquorice all sorts I picked, Sherbet dabs, big and little, All that hard peanut brittle, My conscience gets horribly pricked.

Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:

When I think of the lollies I licked,
And the liquorice all sorts I picked,
Sherbet dabs, big and little,
All that hard peanut brittle,
My conscience gets horribly pricked.

Paraphrase: The poet says that when she thinks about the lollies she licked and all sort of liquorice candies, big and small sweets and hard but brittle peanuts that she bought, her conscience starts pricking her horribly.

(a) How does she feel when she thinks of the lollies that she licked?

(b) What is liquorice?

(c) Find a word in the extract which is same as to “moral sense’.
