Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the question that follows.

Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

What tone is created by Twain's use of dialect?

suspense

humor

happiness

conflict

Answers

Answer 1
Definitely humor. Using analogies like “A doughnut” and “Like a cat” and the words “summerset” “flat-footed” and “A little punch” are easily intended to be funny
Answer 2

The answer is Humor

This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

Explanation:

what advice did bannister give to the student in “The Adventure of the Three Students” ?

Answers

Answer:

Holmes tells him of his own conclusions. When Soames had called Bannister upon the discovery of the moved papers, Bannister had collapsed into the chair to hide an object that would have revealed who had been present.

In “The Adventure of the Three Students” Bannister had given him advice as to what the right thing to do was.

Who is Bannister?

Over the past 10 years, Bannister, a servant, has been responsible for maintaining Soames' chamber. A fifty-year-old man with shaggy hair and a little, white-faced appearance. '' His honesty is "totally above doubt," claims Soames.

The case of test cheating is all that The Adventure of the Three Students deals with; it is not on the same level as murder, blackmail, or the robbery of the crown jewels, yet it was handed to Sherlock Holmes because of the potential for controversy.

Therefore, Bannister had given him advice as to what the right thing to do was.

1The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. 2Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. 3Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. 4Some trails are only a few feet. 5Some trails are over a half a mile long. 6Each trail is as baffling as the next.

7The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. 8Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. 9Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not confirmed any theory.

Which sentence best identifies the main idea of paragraph two?

Scientists are baffled by the different ways the rocks move.
Scientists are confused by the different ways the rocks move, and theories involving wind, ice, and mud have not been confirmed.

grimace grimos, gri masnoun 1. An ugly, twisted expression on a
person's face, typically expressing disgust, pain, or wry amusement, French, from Middle French, alteration of grimache, of Germanic origin; akin to Old


English grima mask
Using the dictionary entry, which sentence uses grimace correctly?



O A. When Mr. Turnbull returned her essay, Anna grimaced at the
disappointing grade
B. Stella grimaced when she discovered a twenty-dollar bill in her
jacket pocket
C. The grimace on Tina's face told her friends she had exciting news
to share
O D. Mike smiled at the cashier with a grimace in hopes that she would
give him extra French fries

Answers

Answer:

A. When Mr. Turnbull returned her essay, Anna grimaced at the

disappointing grade

Explanation:

All of the other scenarios explain the opposite emotion; happiness. You would not be in disgust in finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket, neither would you be in pain while telling exciting news. However, if you were to get a bad grade, you would not be happy. You would likely fit under the definition of a grimace - "typically expressing disgust, pain, or wry amusement"

The connotations in passage 1 give off a positive tone. Words like “bobbed” and “lapped” are used in the passage. Personally I associate bobbed with what happens when you go fishing in the summer and lapped as when a puppy drinks water!
