Answer:

Bullion is money, specifically gold or silver that has been freshly mined but not cleaned and made into money.

Clues to the meaning include the fact that the kids need "3 dollars", the speaker doesn't know how they wanted all that "money" at one time, and they had to "raise" it, as in "raising money". When he says, "I hadn't any idea where to turn to raise all that bullion..." he means the 3 dollars.

Answer:

C) One passage provides objective economic data about the river while the other tells the story of two boys adventuring on its water.

Explanation:

The main idea of Mary O'Dell's passage is to present the Mississippi river as an important resource which was used for development of river transport, thus

contributing to the nation's economic growth.

Twain's passage, although also mentioning Mississippi, does so only to give his story a setting, a place for adventures of the two wannabe pirates.

So, the basic contrast between two passages is best described in answer C.
