Which of these inferences is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 5)? Yet while he lives among us without laying too m

uch stress on his official position, he is something quite different from the ordinary citizen. When a delegation comes to him with a request, he stands there like the wall of the world.

The tax-collector’s family lives a privileged life. C. The tax-collector lives an ordinary life and blends in with the people of the small town. D.

Answer:

A). The townspeople are resentful of the capital’s control over them.

Explanation:

The inference that can best be supported by the given passage would be 'the 'resentment of townspeople on the capital's control over them.' The detail which supports this inference is 'after all, he represents the end of all things, at least for us.' It<em> connotes that the townspeople are trying to hide their dissatisfaction by considering that 'at least he represents them</em>.' The <u>descriptions 'without laying too much stress on his official position' and 'standing there as a wall on a delegate's request', 'hearing voices is a delusion' further substantiate the reason due to which townspeople are discontented over his control</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, the narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective) and a friend of Tom Sawyer. It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist over 20 years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.

Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by literary critics since its publication. The book was widely criticized upon release because of its extensive use of coarse language. Throughout the 20th century, and despite arguments that the protagonist and the tenor of the book are anti-racist,[2][3] criticism of the book continued due to both its perceived use of racial stereotypes and its frequent use of the racial slur
