Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We

got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.

A) the law, the courts, and the government.
B) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief.
C) wealth, material goods, and the love of women.

The answer is:

B) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief.  

In the passage from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," by Mark Twain, the protagonist makes reference to the robbers' money he and Tom found in the cave. After receiving a dollar a day, he is adopted by the Widow Douglas, However, he then prefers to be independent than to follow her appropriate rules. He also uses a straightforward manner of speaking, especially to the window and her sister, and goes back to the house after Tom invites him to become a member of a band of robbers.

The main purpose of an argumentative essay is to
sattari [20]

Answer:

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

An argumentative essay is an essay that takes a position on a particular issue or topic.

PURPOSE OF AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

The purpose of an argumentative essay is to convince the reader that your viewpoint is true or correct. This kind of essay is similar to the persuasive essay because both essay present a viewpoint on an issue. However, the persuasive essay can use opinions and appeal to the reader's emotions. While writing an argumentative essay, you have to use only facts and logic. You have to appeal to the mind of the readers and not their emotions. For example, you could write an argumentative essay on why students should be encouraged to participate in more extra-curricular activities.

EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM - DEFINITION

While writing an argumentative essay, it is important to provide facts and statistical evidence to support the claim you make. Without this, the claim will only be an opinion. This will not convince the reader that your viewpoint is correct. You need to research your topic thoroughly and make a note of all the data that can support your argument. While writing the essay, present your argument with all the supporting evidence.

COUNTERCLAIMS - DEFINITION

A counterclaim is a claim that opposes another claim. The purpose of an argumentative essay is to present your viewpoint on a particular issue. However, it is also important to acknowledge viewpoints that may oppose your own. Use a paragraph to outline the possible counterclaims that could be made against your claim.

UNDERMINE THE COUNTERCLAIMS - DEFINITION

Once you have acknowledged the counterclaims, you also need to undermine them i.e. explain why they don't work. Use proper reasons and evidence to do this. By stating and undermining the counterclaims, you can convince the reader that you have thought about the issue from all sides.

COMPOSING AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

Keep the following points in mind while composing an argumentative essay:

The essay should use logic and reason to present your position on a particular topic or issue

Research the topic thoroughly and identify statistical evidence and facts to support your claim.

Acknowledge the counterclaims i.e. the statements that may oppose the claim you are making.

Use facts and evidence to show why the counterclaims are wrong.

Then yield thee, coward, And live to be the show and gaze o' th' time!
charle [14.2K]
This is a taunt. Here MacDuff is telling MacBeth to yield and show himself to be a coward as well as a monster. People will come to see you, and you will be painted on a pole and underneath will be written "Here may you see the tyrant."

Act 5 Scene 8.
This is one of those multiple guess things that the correct answer is in the mind of  the asker. You could argue all of them to be true. He does blame Lady MacBeth who went mad bearing that blame.

He (hypocritically) befriends Duncan even offering him protection and hospitality, only to betray both and this betrayal is certainly one of  the worst possible crimes.

He murders the king. 

And he does refuse to listen to the witches which are practically his only true friends throughout the play. They say what he needs to hear.

I see why this question is so hard. There is no answer that is easily eliminated.  

His most villainous act is the betrayal of his lord and master, a king that ruled over him. I see subtle implications in B which likely is not what your teacher would choose.

C is probably what you are looking for, although I'm not sure anyone in the play has full knowledge of what he has done. Most would believe the concocted version that the guards were responsible.

Be prepared to get this marked wrong, but I would argue it politely and firmly, because all the choices are possible.
