Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:

<em>"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."</em>

<em>"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."</em>

<em>"...He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal´klated to edercate him(...) and you bet you he did learn him, too.</em>

Twain is satirizing several aspects of American life, but specially the country "punks" who tend to speak at length about subjects that are close to them but are really unimportant an nonsensical.

Elsinore. A Platform before the Castle. FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO. Bernardo: Who’s there? Francisco: Nay, ans
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.

Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:

  1. "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"

="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.

2.  "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"

= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.
