I believe the correct answer is B: It lends a sense of believability to the absurd events, allowing the reader to suspend their disbelief.

The point is to make an absurd story believable at the very basic, personal level. We may stop to think: but wait, how is it possible that someone is hitting another person with an umbrella all the time? But the story is supposed to make us ask ourselves who are we to doubt someone's personal account. The speaker had also had trouble to believe what's happening to him, and yet he got so used to it that now he can't imagine his life without his mysterious companion and his (somewhat bizarre) preoccupation.

So, by the time we finish reading the story, we already understand that (dis)believing should not be an issue at all.

Read the following excerpt from a speech made in response to Christian
siniylev [52]

Answer:

I believe the best option to be letter D. He asks questions that are difficult to answer to help the  missionaries understand his doubts.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the speech made by Red Jacket, a chief of the Wolf clan, in 1805. His purpose is to question the Christian missionaries' affirmation that there is only one religion to be followed and that Native-Americans' religion will keep them from entering Heaven when they die.

In this excerpt, Red Jacket asks the missionaries why they disagree so much about their own religion, why can't all Christians understand the Bible in the same way. He implies that, if the Bible and its teachings are supposed to be unquestionably right, then there should be no arguing between those who follow such teachings.
