I believe the answer is climax because the excerpt seems to be describing the main conflict of the story which happens during the climax.

The rhetorical device used by Twain in this excerpt is the anecdote (C.).
<u>An anecdote is defined as an entertaining narrative, usually relating biographical events</u>.
This definition fits to the text because the story is an account of events which happened to the character in the past ("One winter's night, two years ago, I...") and the narrative is comical enough to be considered for entertainement value ("I was carrying off a box of guns ... and he had got my corpse!").
P(t) is a function time, it is a dependent function which needs the value of t to be completed.
P(t) is the number of people at the beach at the beach in a t number of hours past midnight. t is a undefined and independent variable.
So P(10) = N means:
t = 10 ; 10 hours past midnight
P(10) = Model of the number of people at the beach 10 hours after midnight.
The numerical resolution of P(10) is equal to N, so:
N = number of people at the beach 10 hours after midnight.
