I stood by the duke at the door, and I see that every man that went in had his pockets bulging, or something muffled up under hi

s coat—and I see it warn't no perfumery, neither, not by a long sight. I smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten cabbages, and such things; and if I know the signs of a dead cat being around, and I bet I do, there was sixty-four of them went in.

Answer:

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a story that was written by American author Mark Twain and it was first published in England in 1884 and later in America in 1885. This excerpt in the question comes from chapter 23 of the book and it narrates the events that Huck and his friends must face during a particularly sticky situation when the townspeople file into the place where Huck and his friends are, to exact revenge.

As you read the excerpt, the reader cannot help but notice the strong and constant use of dialect, words that grammatically speaking might not fit what would be considered correct structure, but that play a really big part in generating emotions and sensations.

In this case, the use of dialect on the part of Huck shows two things: first, that he is a really smart boy and he immediately realizes the true atmosphere and the danger that is beginning to gather around him and his companions. The second, and most important, is that the dialect Huck uses helps to incrase the tension, and the suspense, regarding what will happen next. We know that the townspeople are not going with good intentions, but are rather violent, and Huck expresses that tension, and that uncertainty as to what will come next, through the use of dialectical expressions.

How many different 55​-letter words can be made a. if the first letter must be Upper K or Upper XK or X and no letter may be​ re
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(a) The number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is 607,200.

(b) The number of 5-letter word that can be formed (with repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is 913,952.

(c) The number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X and the last is J is 24,288.

Explanation:

In this case we need to form a 5 letter word.

(a)

The condition applied is: 1st letter is K or X.

The word will of the form: K _ _ _ _ or X _ _ _ _

There are 2 ways to fill the first space, i.e. with either K or X.

Repetition is not allowed.

The remaining 4 spaces can be filled in (25 × 24 × 23 × 22) ways.

Then the total number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is:

Number of 5-letter word = 2 × 25 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 607200

Thus, the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is 607,200.

(b)

In case the repetition are allowed the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is:

Number of 5-letter word = 2 × 26 × 26 × 26 × 26 = 913952

Thus, the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (with repetition) such that the first letter is K or X is 913,952.

(c)

The condition applied is: 1st letter is K or X and the last letter is J.

The word will of the form: K _ _ _ J or X _ _ _ J

There are 2 ways to fill the first space, i.e. with either K or X, and the last with J.

Repetition is not allowed.

The remaining 3 spaces can be filled in (24 × 23 × 22) ways.

Then the total number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X and the last is J is:

Number of 5-letter word = 2 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 24288

Thus, the number of 5-letter word that can be formed (without repetition) such that the first letter is K or X and the last is J is 24,288.
