When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, ho

peless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand.

4. PART A: Which answer best describes Jim's mother
Kipish [7]

Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Jim’s mother lacks religious faith, whereas the school book mothers are pious.

B. She is neither loving nor devoted to her son, whereas the school book mothers are.

C. She is healthy, whereas the school book mothers are always dying of consumption.

D. She physically hits him, whereas the school book mothers are gentle and affectionate.

E. All of the above

This question refers to the story "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain. In this story, Twain talks about a boy who was very bad, but who never felt guilty, received a punishment or was particularly unhappy. According to Twain, this shows that the moral stories that we find in "Sunday-school books" do not reflect reality.

One of the elements in the boy's life (Jim) that did not resemble those stories was his mother. Jim's mother was not a sick and pious woman like those often found in such stories. Instead, she was tough, healthy and "stout." Moreover, she was not religious, and she did not worry about Jim in any way. Instead, she cared little for him and physically hit him, spanking him and boxing his ears.
