Answer:As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

Explanation:Read the excerpt from “Votes for Women,” a speech by Mark Twain from 1901.

As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer – and there is no reason why I shouldn't – I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

I believe that  the last option (As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.)  correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Mark  Twain’s words from the speech “Votes for Women”. I think that this answer looks most sensible and shows the  main idea of the speech in the right form. The answer to your question is D. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

tankabanditka [31]

The story that could be classified as folk tale is a) "The Orphan Boy and the Elk Dog" A Blackfoot Legend.

Folktales, by definition, are those stories and legends that originated from the lives and imagination of the people and their folklore, and they were oral literature transmitted from one generation to the next by a storyteller. Folktales were used to transmit the knowledge of the community and their legends. They do not have an individual author though they might be compiled by an editor.

In the case mentioned, "The Orphan Boy and the Elk Dog" is a 19th century folktale that explains how horses came to the Blackfoot Native American Tribe.
