B. It goes from sleepy to frantically busy for a short time.

Explanation:

In Life on the Mississippi, Mark Twain details the narrator’s coming of age through the process of learning to be a steamboat pilot, which fulfilled his boyhood dream.

Twain describes Hannibal, Missouri, sometimes as a village and sometimes as a town. It is a very rural, sleepy, quaint place.

He says, 'And the fragrant town drunkard asleep in the shadow of them',  'but nobody to listen to the peaceful lapping of the wavelets against them,' 'a white town drowsing in the sunshine of summer's morning, the streets empty.'

There is a gang of miscreants living close to your house who costitute a menace to the society. Write a letter to the comissione
Lesechka [4]

Sir.

I write this letter to show my concern about the increase in violence and criminality in our state. Although speaking for me, I represent all residents who feel threatened and terrified by what is happening.

In my community, and in many others, we have to live with a group of malefactors who plague our peace. We are constantly victims of thefts, in addition to having to live with graffiti from our homes and harassment of women and the elderly. We are in urgent need of help and I know that you can help us.

These malefactors usually meet and do their crimes at night, around 10 pm, in this case, I believe it would be a good time for you and your team to arrest them in the act and remove them from society so that they can be reeducated and stop harassing us so badly.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and I expect answers.

Sincerely,

Lean Dean.
