Answer 1

Answer:

The social commentary that Mark Twain does in " The £1,000,000 Bank Note" is that the money does not corrupt men, but it actually reveals their true self and the kind men they are.

Explanation:

Social commentaries aim to critique a specific aspect of society and they have been used in literature for a long time. In "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note", Twain suggests that Londoners usually judge people based on how much money they have and, at the same time, the author tries to warn them against the dangers of trusting people for their appearance or the power they have gained thanks to their money.
