Answer:

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