Leno4ka [110]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: C. His reputation for clever dealing betrays him when he tells the truth.

The statement in letter c shows irony because it presents contrasting events. Mr. Hauchecorne is a clever person  however the irony strikes on him when nobody believes him and makes fun of his cleverness when he said the truth about the string.

The correct answer is C, hypocrisy. This work of Mark Twain's is actually a fictionalized version of his own wartime experiences. He is trying to tell us that there is nothing glorious about war, that there is only death and suffering. It cannot be glorious when you have to kill somebody, or somebody will kill you. That's the irony and hypocrisy that Twain was trying to convey in this work.
