The correct answer is B.
Using indirect dialogue allows Twain to compress and shorten the conversation. By using fewer words (instead of including the exact dialogue), Twain can keep the scene short and move on to a more interesting part of the story.

<em>The </em><em>nosy</em><em> visitors observed the lions' routine for nearly an hour before moving on.</em>
Explanation:
In this passage, we have a description of an average safari with a lot of tourists trying to capture the perfect photo, no matter what it takes. It is obvious that the lions are not a fan of it, as the people keep mingling around them, staring, making noise, etc, so it is almost like in a zoo. So, the author used the neutral word <em>curious</em>, while <em>nosy</em>, meaning <em>being too much into others` business</em>, is more suitable, but only if we want, like it is said, to create a more negative connotation.
Equiano begins his first-person narrative by including several letters that attest to both the veracity of his text and his good character. He then proceeds to his narrative.
He was born in the Eboe province of Africa, and provides cultural detail on those people. While young children, he and his sister were seized by kidnappers and sold to slave traders. After being brought across Africa to the coast, he was sent to the West Indies via the horrific Middle Passage.
He was purchased quickly enough by Michael Henry Pascal, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Pascal had intended him as a gift for friends in London, but instead kept Equiano as an aid towards his naval endeavors during the Seven Years’ War. During this time, Equiano heard about the Christian God and started learning to read and write. Through his ability at sea, he became indispensable to Pascal and became accustomed to his situation.
