One of the purposes of Mark Twain’s “Taming the Bicycle” is to entertain the reader. Which sentence in this excerpt uses humor t

o achieve this purpose?
We examined the machine, but it was not in the least injured. This was hardly believable. Yet the Expert assured me that it was true; in fact, the examination proved it. I was partly to realize, then, how admirably these things are constructed. We applied some Pond's Extract, and resumed. The Expert got on the OTHER side to shove up this time, but I dismounted on that side; so the result was as before. The machine was not hurt. We oiled ourselves up again, and resumed. This time the Expert took up a sheltered position behind, but somehow or other we landed on him again. He was full of surprised admiration; said it was abnormal. She was all right, not a scratch on her, not a timber started anywhere. I said it was wonderful, while we were greasing up, but he said that when I came to know these steel spider-webs I would realize that nothing but dynamite could cripple them. Then he limped out to position, and we resumed once more. This time the Expert took up the position of short-stop, and got a man to shove up behind. We got up a handsome speed, and presently traversed a brick, and I went out over the top of the tiller and landed, head down, on the instructor's back, and saw the machine fluttering in the air between me and the sun. It was well it came down on us, for that broke the fall, and it was not injured.

How are step-up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy (1 point)?
Juliette [100K]
Step-up transformers are used in the transmission of electrical energy by increasing the voltage for efficient long-distance transmission. Step-up transformers increases the voltage which will increase resistance at constant current. At a lower current value, transmission is much more efficient.

Please answer, will mark brainliest, <br><br> 100 points
natulia [17]

Answer:

Connotation is the implied meaning of words,  it can be positive or negative. An example is the word "sun-kissed" it has a positive connotation and implies warmth and beauty. Imagery is using words or phrases to help the reader create a picture in their mind. An example is, "Soon the mists and murky shadows," this sentence creates an image of dark shadows in the readers mind. Denotation is the literal definition of a word. An example is, "prison", the denotation of this word is a literal jail cell, not taking into consideration anything implied. Connotation, imagery, and denotation contribute to the tone of the poem, they evoke emotions from the reader and the usage of each of these writing tools set the tone.

Hope this helps! Please mark brainlest :)
