Answer:

D). To indicate that Twain needed money in order to eat .

Explanation:

Idioms are the most commonly employed figurative device to propose a sharp and rich language that conveys a meaning distinct from the literal meaning of the words presented. Such a device assists to present a more elaborate and spicier description offering an indirect meaning.

As per the question, the given idiom 'I..........book' functions to indicate that 'Twain required money to eat'. Twain was a realist who aimed to portray the real-life subjects with a touch of subtle elements. In this excerpt from his "I Sell a Dog", he intends to hint that he needed money for 'bread and butter'(eat). Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Vesna [10]

Both of these requests are similar in the sense that they both involve parents asking others to monitor their children and be attentive to what they are doing. Polonius wants someone to watch over Ophelia, while Claudius and Gertrude want Rosencratz and Guildenstern to watch over Hamlet. Shakespeare wants to show how, even though both of these are requests of parents who want their child watched, the intention and consequences in each case are very different.
