Read the excerpt from the beginning of Chapter 1 of Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson.

SQUIRE TRELAWNEY, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.

Which best explains why the narrator mentions the gentleman’s names in the opening sentence?

A: to establish credibility, suggesting many want to hear his tale

B: to foreshadow the story’s ending, as personalities are revealed

C: to give background information on his father’s occupation

D: to help the reader visualize the inhabitants of the inn

Answer:

The narrator mentions the gentleman's names in the opening sentence A: to establish credibility, suggesting many want to hear his tale

Explanation:

The best answer is option A because he mentioned specific names, SQUIRE TRELAWNEY and Dr. Livesey who are people that can be verified which shows that he started the opening sentence with their name to establish credibility while also showing that many others want to hear his tale.

The other options are incorrect becaause there is no mention of the personalities of the people involved or backgrund information about his father's occupation, neither is it escriptive of the inn in any distinct way.

What are some common ideas or concepts or an understanding of the idea/concept that you could clarify or complicate
kolezko [41]

Incomplete question. However, I provided an explanation of key terms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <em>idea</em>: the term 'idea' refers to a suggestion or thought about a particular course of action/
  • <em>concept</em>: a concept is a thought-out idea; or an idea plan.
  • <em>clarify</em>: <em>to </em>'clarify' something, be it an idea implies that you<u> make an unclear statement understood to others.</u>
  • <em>complicate</em>: to 'complicate' involves making something, be it an idea less understood, more difficult to understand. In other words, it is the opposite of 'clarify'.
