A. the carelessness and short-tempered nature of British folks B. people's willingness to pick quarrels over small matters C. the lack of trust and respect Englishmen had for Americans D. the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings E. the inability of people to trust others in matters involving money

Answer: D. the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings.

Explanation: A satire is a technique in writing used to criticize any aspect of society, employing humor, exaggeration or irony. In the given excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" by Mark Twain, we can see an example of satire in order to criticize how people blame others for their own mistakes, this is shown in the tramp's fear to go to the bank, because he thought that they would blame him for the mistake they made.

OlgaM077 [116]

answer:

♡ people are what others make them be. people are what their surroundings make them be. and people are what they make themselves be. u are what people make u be because u are a reflection of others’ views and beliefs. u are a product of other people’s thinking poured down on urself.

♡ once we start reflecting upon this, we realize that maybe other people don’t see us the same way that we see ourselves. for example, how u behave or what u show with these behaviors will make people form an image of u that u may not share. “ mirrors are like ur conscience".
