The Mary Jane in question is Mary Jane Wilks, one of the three nieces of late Peter Wilks. At this point in the plot, Huck has already decided that he will help Jim, his fugitive slave friend to escape to a free state. Because he has been brought up in the Slave South, he thinks that such an action makes him a bad person and that he will go to hell.

Additionally, he knows that the Duke and the King are con men who intend to steal the Wilks nieces inheritance and although he disagrees he dares not to expose them and he feels remorse and shame due to that. Since Mary Jane offers to pray for him, he considers that it would take an amount of prayers far greater than Mary Jane can produce to be able to save such a “horrible” person as him.

What indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar?
g100num [7]

This question is missing the excerpt. I will not add it here because it is quite long, but the complete question can be easily found online. The excerpt belong to "The Travels of Marco Polo".

Answer:

The option that indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar is:

A. The author shares facts and specific details about the difficulty of sailing in the region.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a Venetian adventurer who lived from 1254 to 1324. "The Travels of Marco Polo" is a book based on his trips and discoveries and written by Rusticiano de Pisa, who met Polo and had the chance to hear the adventurer himself tell the stories.

<u>In the excerpt that can be found online, the author is informing readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar. The passage is written as it it were Polo himself describing the difficult travel conditions in the region. He provides readers with facts about the currents that prevent ships from going a certain direction. According to him, the currents are always southward. A ship may take 20 days to go a certain way, but three months to return precisely because of the currents.</u>
