Answer:

The excerpt that best shows Twain's subtle sense of humor is (A) <u><em>At last he turned up as apprentice engineer or "striker" on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday-school teachings.</em></u>

Explanation:

A subtle sense of humor is one that is sophisticated and quiet. Thus, it is not obvious. Excerpt A is a clear example of Twain's subtle sense of humor which is very characteristic of his style. It is shown in the following quote: "<em>This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday-school teachings."</em>

Would you describe a busy bus terminal as quaint? Explain.<br> Answer
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

No, quaint means attractively unusual or old-fashioned. Bus terminals are typically pretty busy so that's nothing unusual. I would assume a very busy bus terminal wouldn't be old-fashioned either, it would probably be pretty new.

Stowe uses this dialogue between George and Haley to illustrate that slavery is unethical in every circumstance by showing that there are two parts involved who are equally as guilty for the problem.

George criticizes Haley for selling men and women but at the same time buys slaves himself. George knows that slavery is wrong and does not approve of it. However, he still participates and helps the system to keep standing by buying people to work for him.

With this, the author seeks to convey the idea that it is not only selling slaves that is unethical, but also buying them.
