Answer: B) It creates humor in that the son of a justice of the peace would find manual labor a more satisfying career.

Explanation: an irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one expects and it often has an amusing result. In the given excerpt from "Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain, we can see an example of an irony in the fact that the speaker is the son of a justice of the peace (that was a very respected and important career), but he finds a manual labor (like being a stemboatman or a cabin-boy) more satisfying.

Which parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and
Maurinko [17]
In my opinion, these parts show that the central character (Christian) is devoutly religious and God-fearing: <span>Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry. Christian has experienced first-hand that life is cruel and difficult. It would be far too easy to give up on life and embrace death, but he also knows that there is one thing worse than death, and that is hell. If he were to give up, he would end up in hell. So, he is willing to go down the path of salvation, with the help of Evangelist. This part also shows it: </span><span>Whither must I fly? It means that he is humble enough to obediently follow the path that Evangelist shows him. "The Pilgrim's Progress" shows us a central character who is weak and pliable just like most of people. He often errs and goes astray, and it's his humility and commitment that give him enough courage to follow Evangelist's guidance.</span>

Which example uses an in-text citation correctly, according to MLA
iogann1982 [59]

The example that uses proper, according to MLA standards, in-text citation is the following:

D. Nutritionist Soon-yu Kim describes whole foods as the "cornerstone of a healthy diet" (23)

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation; it requires the author's last name and the page number. If the name appears on the sentence itself, then only the page number should be in parentheses at the end of the sentence (this is the reason why A, which provides redundant information as the last name was already present on the sentence, and C, which places the page number close to the author's name, are incorrect).
