Mark Twain satirize in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Not which are the long list of names required to address certain nobles. SO the answer to your question would be letter A. This excerpt talks about the people who are responsible to the act.

Answer 2

Answer: The right answer is the A) the long list of names required to address certain nobles.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there is no reference to the attitudes of those characters, just to their long names, so option D should be discarded. In addition, it cannot be inferred that Americans were not given importance by the British, so option C can also be discarded. Furthermore, it cannot be inferred that the English had a custom of holding frequent dinner parties and balls, since the author only refers to one in particular, so option B can also be ruled out. Therefore, only option A is valid. The author is satirizing, or ridiculing, the long list of names that were required to address certain nobles—such as "Lady Anne-Grace-Eleanor-Celeste-and-so-forth-and-so-forth-de-Bohun."
