The use of alternative past and satirical language brings out the  narrator’s and the people’s understandings of Scoresby’s wartime blunders create humor and contribute to the narrator’s point of view

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short story "Luck", Twain is able to illustrate the inner feelings of an ordinary person after his success. The use of alternative past and satirical language brings out the  narrator’s and the people’s understandings of Scoresby’s wartime blunders create humor and contribute to the narrator’s point of view.

He explains to his readers using humor and satire to state that it is not right to praise people who has gained success through luck because even in the story, the clergyman states that it was Scoresby's luck as he was basically a fool.

I believe this is the correct answer:
<span><em>So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other. 

</em>I would choose that particular paragraphs because the metaphor is slightly unusual there - two kids, Clarissa and Peter Walsh (when they were young) are being compared to horses, which is not really a common occurrence. <em>

Which is one extraneous detail from this passage? “Several key human errors contributed to the spread of the Chicago fire of 187
ra1l [238]
If the passage is about the human errors that contributed to the spread of the fire, only details that prevented the firemen from being able to contain the fire should be used. The sentence "Even after the fire, Brown was confident..." shows that Brown was confident in his decision. This sentence does not however directly contribute to the firefighters inability to effectively contain the fire at the time of the fire. This takes place after the fire has done the damage.
