Answer:

the passengers and Twain perceive the river in very different ways.

Explanation:

Right after it, Twain continues: <em>"Now when I had mastered the language of this water and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made a valuable acquisition."</em>

He sees the river in a different way and much is to be told from what the river shows, it seems, but passengers are not able to see what he sees because they do not share the same knowledge.

Charra [1.4K]

The answer is: B) climax.

In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the climax occurs when Huck makes the bold decision to help Jim become a free man. As a consequence, he writes a letter to Miss Watson and tells her that the Phelps family is holding Jim.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the anti-climax is the disappointing end of Jim's capture. Besides, the conflict arises at the beginning when Huck is attempted to be civilized by the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Finally, the denouement or final part when problems are resolved happens when Jim is freed, Tom recovers from his wound and Huck decides to travel to the west.

I need help proofreading this article for my school paper
Solnce55 [7]
I added commas where they were needed. You may also want to consider changing some of the repeating words to make this article more interesting.

I had a rough sophomore year but they helped me with my grades and brought them back up and this year( junior year) has been perfect but for both years there wasn't a lot of fun activities our school is too underfunded and most money we get goes to the middle school last year we had a Halloween dance, prom,and we had dominion of terror that's all we had for activities this year we have no Halloween dance, No dominion of terror and most likely from what I've heard... no prom but I see all these other Sheboygan area schools having dances football games and all this other stuff but we can't even get a single dance, I understand that we are in school for education but we are also here for a great high school experience before have to be pushed into the adult world and never have anything like this again but overall there teachers and education system is great but we are really underfunded and don't get a full high school experience.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Lady Bracknell is referring to Cecily’s guardian- Jack’s background as he was an orphan found in a baby carriage in London railway station.

Explanation:

As appearances were of paramount importance in Victorian society, Lady Bracknell is enquiring if Cecily suits his fiancée’s wealthy status and social class. As a moral guardian of social distinctions, this wealthy lady asks for titles and family names to prevent lower classes climbing the social ladder. If Cecily happens to be a parentless child from a working class, the future bride would lack a suitable financial inheritance or dowry.
