Writing grand tales about Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and the mighty Mississippi River, Mark Twain explored the American soul with wit, buoyancy, and a sharp eye for truth. He became nothing less than a national treasure.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name, Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835, in the tiny village of Florida, Missouri, the sixth child of John and Jane Clemens. When he was 4 years old, his family moved to nearby Hannibal, a bustling town of 1,000 people.
John Clemens worked as a storekeeper, lawyer, judge and land speculator, dreaming of wealth but never achieving it, sometimes finding it hard to feed his family. He was an unsmiling fellow; according to one legend, young Sam never saw him laugh. His mother, by contrast, was a fun-loving, tenderhearted homemaker who whiled away many a winter's night for her family by telling stories. She became head of the household in 1847 when John died unexpectedly. The Clemens family "now became almost destitute," wrote biographer Everett Emerson, and was forced into years of economic struggle—a fact that would shape the career of Mark Twain.
Sam Clemens lived in Hannibal from age 4 to age 17. The town, situated on the Mississippi River, was in many ways a splendid place to grow up. Steamboats arrived there three times a day, tooting their whistles; circuses, minstrel shows and revivalists paid visits; a decent library was available; and tradesmen such as blacksmiths and tanners practiced their entertaining crafts for all to see. However, violence was commonplace, and young Sam witnessed much death: When he was 9 years old, he saw a local man murder a cattle rancher, and at 10 he watched a slave die after a white overseer struck him with a piece of iron.

Answer:
Sarah's tower was taller.
Explanation:
If Jeremy's base was 8 units and in the shape of a square, then there had to be eight cubes in eight rows as his base to make it a square.
If Sarah's was for cubes, then her's would be four cubes on each side of the square, making four rows and four columns.
Jeremy's base would be 64 cubes in volume (64 cubes big) because his eight by eight base equals sixty-four. (8×8=64)
In the same way, Sarah's base would be only 16 cubes because her square was 4×4 which equals 16.
If Jeremy was making his tower eight cubes wide each time he built another layer, he would be cubes 64 cubes each time and run out of his cubes after only making his tower less than four cubes high.
Sarah's tower would be much taller because with her only using 16 cubes every time she builds another cube high, her 128 cubes would run out after she had already made it 8 cubes high, which is taller than Jeremy's.
