Answer:

Its comical that when king Midas attempted to drink coffee and eat his breakfast that the meal turned to gold. There's suspense near the beginning in the early morning when he tried out his power and it didn’t work until the first sunbeam shown through the sunroof.

Humor and Suspense in the text is driven by the largely sarcastic voice of the narrator.

Explanation:

The tale is a classical retelling of an old myth of Midas and his blessing turning into a cruse.

It is told with zest and excitement and a sly tone by an unnamed narrator who is believed to be authorial voice of the book.

On the onset itself there is a prime example of what we are looking for.

<em>''and he had a little daughter, whom nobody but myself ever heard of, and whose name I either never knew, or have entirely forgotten.''</em>

Here the humor derives from the fact that the author does not know such an important piece of information.

The element of suspense can be seen from this quote of the book:

<em>Midas called himself a happy man, but felt that he was not yet quite so happy as he might be.</em>

This part of the tale foretells what is to come while keeping the audience in suspense.

It shows that he will be greedy but has not so revealed it yet.

Think about the Sons of Liberty described and discussed in the previous lesson titled, Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities.
dimulka [17.4K]
The Sons of Liberty, a well-organized Patriot paramilitary political organization shrouded in secrecy, was established to undermine British rule in colonial America and was influential in organizing and carrying out the Boston Tea Party. The origins and founding of the Sons of Liberty is unclear, but history records the earliest known references to the organization to 1765 in the thriving colonial port cities of Boston and New York. More than likely, the Boston and New York chapters of the Sons of Liberty were deliberately established at the same time and worked as an underground network in conjunction with each other. It is believed the Sons of Liberty was formed out of earlier smaller scale like-minded Patriot organizations such as the<span> “Boston Caucus Club” </span><span>and </span>“Loyal Nine.”<span> Membership was made up of males from all walks of colonial society but was notorious in recruiting tavern mongers, wharf rats, and other seedy characters looking to cause trouble. Under the cover of darkness, the Boston chapter of the organization held their meetings under the “Liberty Tree,” and the New York chapter under the “Liberty Pole.” The “Liberty Tree” was located in Hanover Square, “the most public part” of Boston and was a 120-year-old “stately elm” with branches that “seem’d to touch the skies” according to the Boston Gazette. Taverns, with owners sympathetic to the Patriot cause, were also the favorite meeting places of the Sons of Liberty. The Green Dragon Tavern in Boston was the tavern of choice for meetings of the Sons of Liberty. Despite very little documentary evidence as to the origins of the organization, Boston Patriot Samuel Adams is often credited as being the founder and leader of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was most likely organized in the summer of 1765 as a means to protest the passing of the Stamp Act of 1765. Their motto was, “No taxation without representation.”

Which sentence follows AP Style Guide rules?
ale4655 [162]

The answer is the first option: <em><u>"On my summer trip, I plan to visit Chicago and Los Angeles."</u></em>

The Associated Press Style guide states some rules for  documents to have a common understanding. Some of the rules state that we must spell out numbers from one to nine and for the rest, they should use figures (Which is what happens in the second option). Another rule lists some cities that don't need the state name such as Pennsylvania, Boston San Francisco, and Los Angeles. (Which is what happens in the third and fourth options). And as we can see in the last option, the commas rule after "and/or"  is missing.

The AP style guide also states rules about quotation, punctuation, numbers, names, cities, dates, days, capitalizations, and others.
