Answer:
D. useless toil
Explanation:
Toil means to work hard and long; exhausting physical labor. Useless toil is present in both the myth and the modern story because in the myth, the deceitful king works so hard to roll the boulder up to the top of the hill only for it to roll back down again. In the modern story, the fisherman works so hard to reel in an enormous fish, only for sharks to eat it before he can get it to shore. In both cases, they are working hard for no personal gain.
So, the answer would be D.
Hope that helps.
Answer: im king of the smarts
Explanation:
He earns his nickname (and dooms his future law practice) from a remark he makes shortly after arriving in the town. Hearing a dog barking and yelping, he comments that he wishes he owned half of the dog. When asked why he desired this, he replies that he would kill his half. This remark struck the townspeople as completely moronic - if Wilson killed half of the dog, surely the other half would expire as well. Thus, if he is going to kill the entire dog, why only wish for half? The town was convinced that Wilson was a fool, and from that day forward he was stuck with the nickname "Pudd'nhead."
