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.

In the beginning, Lizabeth  acted childish, immature, and didn't know about the world outside her neighborhood.  During the story, she realized that the world isn't as kind as forgiving as she thought. At the end, she is more mature, understanding, and a forgiving woman. She changed because she realized that she needed to grow up.  Hope this helps.

olganol [36]

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:

PART A:

A.Okina’s determination has resulted in many street kids in Nigeria being able to attend school.

PART B

C.“To raise money, he wrote to local charities and visiting charitable individuals so he could get the funds to pay school tuition for more street kids.” (Paragraph 21)

Explanation:

The main idea of "How A Typical Teen Did Something Not So Typical to Help Street Kids" (2017), by Linus Unah, is that James Okina´s effort and determination helped many street kids in Nigeria to be able to attend school. This becomes clear in paragraph 21, where the author describes how the teen raised money by collecting funds to pay school tuition for street kids. Okina was inspired to do this after he met a 13-year-old homeless kid named Frederick who could not attend school and decided to help him and others like him.
