Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's essay "The Art of Inhumation." About the same time, I encountered a man in the street, whom I

had not seen for six or seven years; and something like this talk followed. I said,-- "But you used to look sad and oldish; you don't now. Where did you got all this youth and bubbling cheerfulness? Give me the address." He chuckled blithely, took off his shining tile, pointed to a notched pink circlet of paper pasted into its crown, with something lettered on it, and went on chuckling while I read, "J. B-, UNDERTAKER." Then he clapped his hat on, gave it an irreverent tilt to leeward, and cried out,-- "That's what's the matter! It used to be rough times with me when you knew me--insurance-agency business, you know; mighty irregular. Big fire, all right--brisk trade for ten days while people scared; after that, dull policy-business till next fire. Town like this don't have fires often enough--a fellow strikes so many dull weeks in a row that he gets discouraged. But you bet you, this is the business! People don't wait for examples to die. No, sir, they drop off right along,--there ain't any dull spots in the undertaker line. I just started in with two or three little old coffins and a hired hearse, and now look at the thing! Based on this excerpt, which best describes this type of nonfiction?
a)humorous essay
b) essay of ideas

1.How are our oceans changing? How does this change affect humans or animals?
Naddika [18.5K]
1. Changes in ocean temperatures and currents brought about by climate change will lead to alterations in climate patterns around the world. Changes in water temperature can affect the environments where fish, shellfish, and other marine species live. As climate change causes the oceans to become warmer year-round, populations of some species may adapt by shifting toward cooler areas oceans are becoming more acidic.
2. If we don’t fix it there’ll be more storms. When water is warmer, it evaporates at a faster rate which means the ocean will be able to cause even more powerful storms. This is obviously made worse by the rising sea levels.

Which argument could best be supported with textual evidence from the story “Phaeton”?
kondaur [170]

Answer: It is important to carefully consider the consequences of our actions.

Explanation:

Phaeton was the son of the sun god Helios and when he requested a favor of Helios, the sun god said he could have whatever he wanted. Phaeton requested to ride the Sun chariot which was so challenging that it was said that not even Zeus could ride it.

Helios tried to dissuade Phaeton but he would not relent and on getting his wish, almost brought disaster to the earth but was struck down by Zeus/ Jupiter.

This story therefore shows that we should consider the consequences of our actions before engaging in them as it could lead to serious repercussions.
