In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>c. were published to be read by common people. The invention of the printing press a century earlier was the driving force of literacy, which was becoming more widespread than ever. Books were cheaper and affordable to members of the growing middle class. Also, the middle-class people started dictating the literary taste, so there was no need for employing sublime styles and topics that would appeal to the educated aristocracy. In the 16th century, Giorgio Vasari wrote his "Lives of the Artists" - an easily read and extremely interesting account on lives of secular people - the major artists of the age. This book quickly became a bestseller, which means it was read by common people.</span>

Read the comment by Huck from chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Remark

What huck sees and how he interprets it is what this short comment is about. I would pick

<em>Despite his lack of formal upbringing, Huck has good intuition when it comes to reading situations.</em>

<em />

Yes, he exaggerates some, but the exaggeration does nothing to distort what he's looking at.

He doesn't always look for humor and sometimes he just plain wrong. I think it's Chapter 16 where Jim talks about the value of children and concludes that Solomon was not as wise as he was made out to be. Jim's insightful analysis is way above Huck's head and the passage is neither funny nor Jim's analysis exaggerated.

Select the correct answer.
MAVERICK [17]
The answer would be the second option

A soliloquy, similar to a monologue, is a speech, but it's a speech that one gives to oneself regardless of whose hearing, it is used as a tool to better help the audience to understand what the character is feeling internally. An example of one, and perhaps the most famous is this one:

To be, or not to be, — that is the question: &mdash; 
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
<span>And by opposing end them? (etc.)</span>
