Answer:

A) Malapropism

Explanation:

A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in the place of a correct word with a similar sound. This usually results in comical or nonsensical statements. Malapropisms can happen by mistake in natural speech, but they are also common as jokes and humorous utterances in comedy and literature. The name comes from the character of Mrs. Malaprop, from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play <em>The Rivals</em>.

Bobo visit is important because
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Bobo is, as his name suggests, somewhat dimwitted, but he is basically honest and appears to be a loyal friend. When he comes to Walter's apartment to deliver the bad news about the insurance money, he is so mannerly and polite to the women in the Younger household that he appears almost ridiculous.

Hope this what you are looking for!!!

Have a blessed day:)
