Answer:

HOW TO TELL A STORY  AND OTHERS  by Mark Twain

Paragraph 5 stated that "The humorous story is told gravely."  This statement narrows the author's main idea on "How to tell a story and others" to how a humorous story can be told.  This means that the author's specific purpose for writing this short story was to explain how to tell a humorous story.  Since this was not stated initially, the author decided to refine his main idea in this paragraph by stating clearly that "the humorous story is told gravely."  This assertion helps the storyteller to conceal the funny aspect from their audience. He then differentiates telling a humorous story from a comic and witting stories.

Explanation:

Mark Twain wrote "How to Tell a Story and Others" in 1897 to inspire writers and other storytellers that in telling their stories they should be mindful of the type of storytelling that their audience like.  Moreover, in the storytelling they must be resilient enough to hide the funny nature of the story while they are narrating it.  The overall purpose is to enable their audience to have the last laugh.  According to him, this makes telling a humorous storytelling a job for an artist.

1. Why is Syrita chosen to try to reason with X?
liraira [26]

Syrita was chosen to argue with X because she was the first person he saved, as shown in option B. In this case, option B is the correct answer.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to the book "Superhuman" by Nicola Yoon.

When reading this book, we can see that:

  • A superhero named X decides to destroy the world, as he believes that human beings are evil and that they have no salvation.
  • He came to this conclusion because he was unfairly shot by cops when he was an ordinary human, as the cops shot him for being black.
  • However, before wanting to destroy humanity, he saves Syrita the day she fell from a building.

For this reason, the president decides to send Syrita to talk to him, because he saved her, which shows that human beings have salvation and not all evil.
