Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

<u>Some examples of his ironic style are the following: </u>

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

 

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

 

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."

irga5000 [103]

The author is trying to convey that in recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased. He began his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man.
