Answer: D. To convince the reader that Huck's father has the ability to be funny.

Explanation: Twain was a realist and thus, portrayed the social follies like child abuse, slavery by putting a human face Pap to it and balancing it with the humor. Here, Twain conveys to the audience the materialism of pap as he got drunk and acts humorous to convince Huck to return in order to pursue his avarice. Thus, the use of humor here is to depict the money-grubbing nature of him and after this incident his character seem to be even less sympathetic and more gluttonous for money. Twain has sarcastically implied humor to present the dark reality of their life at the time of civil war where money remained the root cause of all evils.

Use the past participle to complete the sentence. I wish I would have _____ to greet her when she walked by. rise rose rised ris
Lera25 [3.4K]
In the sentence:

I wish I would have risen to greet her when she walked by.  

Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with past participle). <span> </span>

A major character in a story who encounters conflict, challenges, or both, and is changed by them. The main character or protago
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Round characters are those characters important for the development of the story, playing a huge part in the plot. They are the opposite of 'flat' characters but may not necessarily be the main characters themselves.

Explanation:

Round characters are the exact opposite of flat/ static characters in a story. While the flat characters have no contribution or use in the development of the story, these 'round' characters play an important role in the progress of the story. They also comprise the most challenging for writers to include, for they are constantly involved in every possible part of the story.

Round characters may not necessarily be the main characters, but they do play a huge role in the characterization of others, the development of the story, and may even help in the characterization of the main characters. They may also influence the main characters, making them improve or even destroy them. They play a major part in the plot or subplot of the story that the writers have to have a variety of character layers to them.

Read this passage from mary shelley's frankenstein:as the day was fair, and the wind favorable, we resolved to go by water. . .
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".

Explanation:

Although letter "a" is a possible answer, it is not correct to state that because Nature is not a piece-giving gift for the characters in this passage, as they are more close to admire the beauty of the scene rather than feeling that inside of their own senses. Letter "c" is not possible because the characters are not "detached observers", they are living and going through Nature very close. Letter "d" does not make sense as an answer because Nature is not portrayed as bothersome, it is the contrary. Therefore, letter "b" is the best option for it presents the natural environment as an alluring and enchanting display, as almost a cool painting.
