The correct answer is B.

The description indicates the man is tough and rich. Tough because he has a square jaw and a scar above his eye. Rich because he has a diamond set into his scarfpin.

The other characteristics cannot be inferred based on this description.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"He is stand-offish and keeps to himself".</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading the excerpt from "After Twenty Years", the character can be inferred as "stand-offish and keeps to himself". This can be portrayed by his behaviour and his actions like lighting the cigar, showing the paleness in his eyes, and the scar near his eyebrows. The diamond which is stuck in the scarfpin shows that he has a status and is also rich. He keeps to himself because he lights the cigar on his own without concerning about others.

In at least 150 words, explain the controversy that continues to surround The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Nikolay [14]
The controversy that surrounds the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is particularly due to the fact that schools and libraries across the US have been drawn into debates about censorship context included int the novel , the regional dialects and the stereotypes of African American lives shown in the novel. Mark Twain included words in this novel, that has been previously noted as offensive, to properly pro tray the southern lifestyle and these words included have therefore helped to cause the controversy over it. These terms, if not understood as an element of realism, can be inappropriate or disturbing for young readers to have read. Characters in the novel also follow stereotypes of the African American lifestyle that can be seen as an insult if the reader doesn't understand the author's intention of displaying those stereotypes. Twain uses satire in the novel to show the social injustices of the 1900's and if the reader doesn't understand the intentions of the author by including it, it can be seen as highly offensive, and inappropriate, causing a spark of controversy.
