Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is an example of satire? I was admitted by a gorgeou

s flunkey, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could. Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything. You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank.

It was crucial due to the fact the Egyptians  was dependent on the cycle of the Nile River. The Egyptians recognized three seasons: Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks a layer of mineral-rich silt ideal for growing crops. After the floodwaters had receded, the growing season lasted from October to February. Farmers plowed and planted seeds in the fields, which were irrigated with ditches and canals. Egypt received little rainfall, so farmers relied on the Nile to water their crops. From March to May, farmers used sickles to harvest their crops, which were then threshed with a flail to separate the straw from the grain. Winnowing removed the chaff from the grain, and the grain was then ground into flour, brewed to make beer, or stored for later use.

Which is an advantage the Internet has over other forms of media? It can aim at a specific audience. It is more environmentally
Bogdan [553]
All the first points you have written are true, but there is si much more you could say...
It can provide information quickly to large groups of people, and has allowed the world to become more connected; through businesses being able to communicate globally from HQ to factories or family members being able to skype or IM from one side of the world to another. 
The internet brings us all together really, its interactive and lets people have their say, overall it's a worldwide community. Other forms of media simply don't have this to such an extent, and so thats what I guess makes the internet stand out!
Think about how you use the internet, whether it be social sites like facebook or twitter, or creative sites like pinterest or tumblr. You could also include these thoughts in your answer!

I hope this helped! Have a nice weekend :))
