B. When it starts by saying "He never yet said a boorish thing" it is saying that he never said anything mean, he was never a mean, or ill spirited person, he didn't use his knightlyhood as a way to have power over anyone
The answer is: The pause must be used expertly in order to be effective.
According to Mark Twain, the pause is a significant literary element that must be used with proficient knowledge to be adequate. Because it has a subtle meaning, the pause must possess the accurate duration. Otherwise, if it is too long or too short, it is unsuccessful and the text might require a great effort for the reader.
Pretty positive its false, don't hate me if I'm wrong, lol.
Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.
Explanation:
Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.
''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''
After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.
He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.
I think it's not the full question
