Explanation:

a. Ignorance and Want, who appear in stave 3 of A Christmas Carol, represent the failings of a society that seeks to be progressive but fails to meet the most basic needs of its children. The ignorance of such a society is monstrous because it demonstrates a willingness to overlook the constant state of deprivation, or want, of children who rely on their society for protection. As the Ghost of Christmas Present points out to Scrooge, these two children are the result of a society that disregards the less fortunate: Of the two children, Ignorance is designated as the more dangerous because ignorance of the misery of the poor—willful or not—only prolongs the social problem of poverty. Want can be relieved, even if only temporarily, but ignorance requires more vigilance to overcome because it requires a lasting change of heart on the part of those who are more privileged. By forcing the needy into workhouses and prisons, the problem itself is not solved, and the cycle of poverty only perpetuates itself.

That Ignorance and Want cling to the Ghost of Christmas Present is especially significant. By tethering these figures to the present moment rather than to the past or future (both of which cannot be accessed), Dickens is emphasizing to his audience that there are children living in poverty right now as the reader is perusing Scrooge's story. There is no room for regret or waiting. No excuses can be made for not helping them, as Scrooge comes to find out. Now that he has a face attached to the general mass of poor people he has so often ignored, Scrooge realizes the callousness of his earlier opinions on how those at society's margins should be treated.

B. When the Ghost reveals the two children hiding underneath his robes to Scrooge, Scrooge reacts with deep revulsion. These children are described by Dickens as "yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish..." and as "monsters... horrible and dread."

While Scrooge initially tries to conceal his disgust by calling them "fine children" and inquiring if they are the progeny of the Ghost, he is so overcome by their appearance that he cannot stand lying.
