The correct answers are B. To learn about traveling to Italy and D. TO learn about Mark Twain
Explanation:
In the excerpt, Mark Twain describes his experiences while visiting Italy; this includes a detailed description of the places he visited such as the Leaning Tower and the Duomo (cathedral), as well as his impression of the places. For example, in "makes your flesh creep, and convinces you for a single moment in spite of all your philosophy" Twain describes his thoughts and emotions when he tried to see the base of the leaning tower.
According to this, the two purposes that fit the content of this text are to learn about traveling to Italy because the text focuses on describing important touristic places in this country; and to learn about Mark Twain because the text is a memoir of Mark Twain, and therefore shows readers the life, emotions, and experiences of this writer.
