<span>There are only two verbs in the sentence 'went' and 'is' so it must be 'is'. However the word 'which' acts as a conjunction which thus links the two things together. Without the 'We went' bit it would be 'Santa Fe is the second oldest city in the US.'</span>
Answer:
B. To reflect the realities of life in his writings.
Explanation:
Mark Twain wrote about lower-class citizens in his satires to show people who read his satires, the reality of which lower-class people had to live in, with it being hard and cruel.
The correct answer is B.
Using indirect dialogue allows Twain to compress and shorten the conversation. By using fewer words (instead of including the exact dialogue), Twain can keep the scene short and move on to a more interesting part of the story.
If the dialogue were written out exactly as it was spoken, it would take a lot longer to read, since many animals are speaking to the donkey in this scene.
