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>
