Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

These short narrative are found in Mark Twain Speaks for Himself, edited by Paul Fatout. Here, Twain was seen to have spoken volumes for himself through his newspaper stories, humorous columns, letters, speeches, and interviews, gathered together here for the first time in one paperback volume. He constructed the his words in print to seem as if they were spoken directly by him.

Answer 2

Answer:

This text was written by Mark Twain. In this text, the author acidly and ironically quips a speech by an alleged presidential candidate.

Explanation:

Mark Twain was an impressive writer. Endowed with an intelligent, ironic and often acid sense of humor, he wrote about various points in society, making a harsh criticism in a relaxed way.

An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Twain lampoons the speech of a candidate for president of the country. This candidate supports his speech in embarrassing situations and with no sense of his past. In addition, the candidate is totally unprepared for the position he intends to take and justifies his actions in amazing ways, not very different from what we see today.
