Answer:

The author uses words such as foundations and trowellings to suggest Oliver's expertise.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows that Oliver had little money but had fantasies which he craved to satisfy. One of his fantasies was his desire to own a house. He was skilled in the art of building and this is reflected in how he used his great hands to lay the foundations.

Trowels are small flat metal blades with short handles used in scooping mixtures while painting. Oliver made smooth trowellings while building, an indication that he was also a skilled worker. The result of his expertise can be seen in the outcome of the building which was quite good.

Hmm, I'm stuck between word choice and dialogue. But I think dialogue focuses more on character building, so I'd say the best answer is A. Word Choice. Hope this helps :)

"Henry the Eight…used to marry a new wife every day, and chop her head off next morning. And he would do it just as indifferent
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Huck seems indifferent to his own claim about the kings of the past and the present, their companion "king" included.

But in giving the story of Henry VIII to Jim, he meant to show that all kings are the same, be it past or present, real or fake king.

Explanation:

When Huck told Jim about Henry VIII in Chapter 23 of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", he did not seem to really believe it. But there is also no proof of his own disbelief of the story either. According to him, there is no such real difference in the kings of the past and the 'king' who's their companion.

In his description of Henry VIII, Huck seems to have a mild idea of many stories which he composed into one tale. He attributes Henry VIII with that of the king in the stories of One Thousand Nights, the historical Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence. There is no such demarcation of story and history for him.

But whatever that may be, his claim seems to be that he wants to show how almost everyone, be it the kings of the past and the one they have as a companion, are all the same. Some lines after this passage, he said "<em>What was the use to tell Jim these warn’t real kings and dukes? It wouldn’t a done no good; and, besides, it was just as I said: you couldn’t tell them from the real kind</em>."
