Multiple Choice

" Scragged means something in this way, old feller," said Charley. As he said it, Master Bates caught up an end of his neckerchief and, holding it erect in the air, dropped his head on his shoulders and jerked a curious sound through his teeth, thereby indicating, by a lively pantomimic representation, that scragging and hanging were one and the same thing. (Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist, 1838)
