The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn take place just before the Civil War.
The general era present in the novel is between the years of 1835 and 1845, and the Civil War in America began in 1861. So, the only correct answer here is C. If you've read the novel, the era will be obvious based on the events of the book.

why did shakespheres noble characters speak in iambic pentameter while commoners spoke mainly in blank verse or prose

Sergio [31]

1. First, Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse featuring iambic pentameter because that was the style of the day. Think of it as a way for an author to show off--and it really is quite impressive if one thinks about it. There are very few authors who can create characters and plots as rich as Shakespeare's and write their lines in a consistent meter. 2. Secondly (I think that this might be what you are asking), when Shakespeare's characters speak in verse (iambic pentameter), they are usually the noble (aristocratic) characters, and their speech represents their high culture and position in society. If you simply look at one of Shakespeare's plays, you can often tell when the commoners are speaking because their lines will go from margin to margin (this is true, too, of nobles who are acting like commoners--whether they're involved in evil schemes, losing their minds, or are drunk!). In contrast, Shakespeare's other characters' lines should sound and look different to you--they should sound "sing-songy" and should look like poetry with uneven lengths. A good example of this is from Othello. When Iago is speaking to his peers or to those in position of authority over them, his speech is in verse, but when he is plotting and talking to Roderigo (especially at the play's beginning), his lines are not in iambic pentameter--this represents the bawdy nature of his speech and, in truth, the baseness of his character.

Singapore is an important trading centre in Asia. That's why the port there is so big.
Many popular tourist destinations have scorching temperatures in summer.

There are a few useful tips to follow when answering this type of question:

<u>Read all sentences and all answer choices</u>. That will give you an idea of what the sentences are about and what words may possibly go with each sentence.
Begin by the most obvious ones. For example, number 5 above mentions "scorching" and "summer," which shows the only possibility is temperature.
Go with what sounds more logic. "Housing" and "estate" make sense together, just like "trading" and "center".
If it sounds right, it is probably right. But, when in doubt, research online to see if you can find similar sentences.
