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.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Sarah, Matt's wife, works as a business software developer.

Explanation:

The noun Sarah preceding the appositive Matt's wife provides sufficient identification on its own, so we have to use commas around the appositive.

These sentences are written incorrectly:

The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. We don't need to use commas around the subject <em>local market</em>.

Takeko, a painting student offered to help with a sculpting demonstration.

We need to use commas around the appositive <em>a painting student</em>.

The store offers, many products, which can be personalized with your initials. No commas are needed.
