Answer:

Cautionary and advocative

Explanation:

The tone that Thoreau adopts in paragraph 12 is a cautionary and advocative one. In this paragraph, Thoreau discusses the process of voting, and how this impacts regular citizens. He tells us that citizens who are intelligent and honest matter as much as people who do not have these qualities when it comes to voting. He argues that this is an inefficient system, and that people who participate in it are acting in an unjust manner. This supports the idea he advocates throughout the text: that individual people deserve more input in politics.

Neporo4naja [7]

Twain’s use of dialect in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contributes to the realism of the story by making the settings and character more convincing  for the readers. By adding accurate social dialects into his story, Twain depicts a truthful vision of the souther society that fits the characters' backgrounds, the time period and the location. This is no exception in the case of Huck and Jim. Jim, in this novel, is a slave who is less educated than the average person; therefore, to make his character more believable to the readers, Jim's way of speaking uses slang, shortened words and improper grammar. This can be seen in phrases like "Whar is you?", "ag'in", "sumf'n", etc.
