Mark Twain most likely created the character of Henry Adams as an American living in England to better compare and contrast American and British social tendencies.

Twain uses the stories of Henry Adams to show that <em>Americans need to be honest, patient, self-disciplined, and witty</em>. This story is no exception. Henry needs to be intelligent to obtain things just for having a milloin pound bank note, and he need self-discipline to not over spend the money that people lend him so that he can ultimately repay it.

The answer is<em> in order to better compare and contrast American and British banking system.</em>

The story takes place in Victorian London, where Henry Adams, the story's main character and also the hero-storyteller has wound up poor and in clothes after a drifting mishap in the U.S cleared him out to to ocean. Shortly after, two extremely rich siblings spot him and give him an envelope with no data. Seeing the cash inside the envelope Henry promptly sets out toward a shabby eating house and he hauls the cash out of the envelope after he eats.

<u>Throughout the story the author uses the main character's nationality and the mishaps he encounters in the UK to make a clear statement towards the banking industry in both countries.</u>

  • <em>This is a biology question</em>

Answer:

B) die back as other larger plants begin to grow

Explanation:

The graphs which show ecological  succession taking place after a disturbance, has the grasses and mosses represented by "2". The curve tagged 2 represents the growth path of grasses and mosses after the disturbance.

From the graphs, we can see that after the disturbance, the growth of mosses and grasses starts on bare rocks and increases steadily as the slope of the curve rises. The curve tagged "2" begins to slope downwards, indicating a steady decline in the growth of mosses and grasses as other larger plants begin to emerge.

Therefore, from the graphs, we can infer that mosses and grasses grow over bare rock, and then <em>die back as other larger plants begin to grow. </em>Some of the grasses and mosses still survive but their growth is reduced in the presence of other larger plants and fast growing trees as they are unable to compete for space, nutrient and sunlight with them.
