An antecedent of a pronoun is a word that refers to the same thing as this pronoun.

here the pronoun is "theirs"

<em>Rivers stopped flowing along the bank's so that they could hear Orpheus, whose music was harmonious than </em><em>theirs.</em>
 (all the words in Boldface refer to the same thing).

What does the "theirs" refer to? it refers to their music, and the they is the Rivers (it's a personification of rivers)

The antecedent is the river!

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
enyata [817]

Answer:

The meaning is this, this boy was vexed by the horrible habit of smoking from the peer pressure of others. The author uses satire to jokingly tell of how much importance chewing tobacco was for a boy of his age. When Twain states " I was not able to learn to chew tobacco. I learned to smoke fairly well, but that did not conciliate anybody and I remained a poor thing, and characterless." he uses words such as "poor thing" and "characterless" to show humor within his writing. Though smoking and chewing tobacco isn't such a humorous subject, Twain uses a good amount of satire to represent comedy in such a serious topic.

Explanation:

Mark Twain uses satire to show humor through his most serious topics. This brings the reader into the story with interest.
