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.

After completing the six above steps, articulate a precise topic that you will address.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Yet before the narrator goes any further in the tale, he describes the circumstances and the social rank of each pilgrim. He describes each one in turn, starting with the highest status individuals. Chaucer's voice, in re-telling the tales as accurately as he can, entirely disappears into that of his characters, and thus the Tales operates almost like a drama. Where do Chaucer's writerly and narratorial voices end, and his characters' voices begin? This self-vanishing quality is key to the Tales, and perhaps explains why there is one pilgrim who is not described at all so far, but who is certainly on the pilgrimage - and he is the most fascinating, and the most important by far: a poet and statesman by the name of Geoffrey Chaucer.

Select the correct answer. Which phrase is a noun phrase in the given paragraph? Since childhood Jess has been interested in the

deff fn [24]

Answer: The correct answer is: [B]: " the art of story telling. "

_____________________________

Explanation:

_____________________________

The given excerpt is as follows:

Since childhood, Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling. She would entertain her little brother and sister with tales of magic and adventure. She started writing stories almost as soon as she learned the alphabet. To write her stories, Jess relies on her colorful imagination.

___________________________

Let us consider the other answer choices:

Choice [A]: "has been interested" ;

Choice [C]: "would entertain" ;

Choice [D]: "started writing" ;

are all "<u>verb phrases</u>" ; that do not contain any "noun"— or subject or object—nor do they function as a "noun" or "subject" in any way.

Choice [E]: "as soon as" ; is an "adverb phrase" that describes "when" something is about to happen —(albeit not very specific about "when"—in this particular explanation.

____________________________

Choice: [B]: " the art of storytelling" ; is the correct answer.

____________________________

This is clearly a "noun phrase" ; since it begins with a noun [athough this is not required to be a "noun phrase"]—and is modified by a "gerund" [i.e. modified by further explanation—by using the words "of storytelling"] ; in which the "gerund" is "storytelling". Gerunds are nouns formed from "verb forms ending in -ing" —which <u>function as a noun</u>.
