Explanation:

1. Twain falsely reported that some of the travelers had died because  the travelers left town before the news printed. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

American novelist, stand-up comedian, and travel writer Mark Twain achieved success. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) are two of his best-known works (1885). Many people agree that Twain is among the greatest American authors of all time.

2. Twain uses exaggeration to create a humorous voice in this excerpt when he explains that he commits murder when he is actually telling lies. Future American authors used Mark Twain's wide use of exaggeration and other literary methods as a model.

Hence, Twain added comedy and improved the overall quality of his writing by using severe exaggeration.

Animals can be entertaining, caring, and helpful. Some animals assist people with day-to-day activities while others are members of the military or a police force. After reading these passages, write an opinion about how you think animals could be useful in a community, a school, or a place of work. Be sure to state your opinion and support it using information presented in both passages.

Look at the following commentary on "Cupid and Psyche" from Bulfinch's Mythology. The fable of Cupid and Psyche is usually considered allegorical. The Greek name for a butterfly is Psyche, and the same word means the soul. There is no illustration of the immortality of the soul so striking and beautiful as the butterfly, bursting on brilliant wings from the tomb in which it has lain, after a dull, groveling caterpillar existence, to flutter in the blaze of day and feed on the most fragrant and delicate productions of the spring. Psyche, then, is the human soul, which is purified by sufferings and misfortunes, and is thus prepared for the enjoyment of true and pure happiness. In your journal, reflect on Bulfinch's analysis of the story's theme. Do you agree or disagree with his analysis? Why or why not? What new questions does this analysis of "Cupid and Psyche" bring to mind? Can you answer them? If not, does it matter? Explain.
