Answer:
it is official and authoritative
Explanation:
Irving writes that no one really knows what happened to Tom's wife, however when Tom finds the missing checked cloth with a heart and liver inside and observes the scene near it, he concludes that his wife must have battled the devil and eventually lost--not easily, though, because Tom notices that there were
"many prints of cloven feet deeply stamped about the tree, and several handsful of hair, that looked as if they had been plucked from the coarse black shock of the woodsman. Tom knew his wife's prowess by experience."
The description is ironic on a couple of counts. First, the fact that Tom's wife was so stingy and stubborn that she would have given the devil a harsh time bargaining and fighting fits into Irving's typical, ironic description of the nagging wife. Secondly, the last sentence refers back to the abuse that Tom often suffered at the hands of his wife, and he almost sympathizes for the devil in regards to the battle between him and Mrs. Walker.
The first is B. the second is A. the third is C. I believe.
I hope this helps.
If you mean like the meaning in that sentence i believe it is another word for huge or big
The correct answer is He is exaggerating the truth
Explanation:
A narrator is unreliable if his words are not completely true or aim at deceiving the audience. In the excerpt presented, it is likely the narrator not completely reliable because this narrator is exaggerating. This occurs in "And travelled far; no man as far as he" or "ever honored for his ability" because even if the warrior or man he is describing is brave and has traveled a lot it is unlikely he has traveled more than any other person in the world or that his abilities or qualities are the best in the world.
