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 themes are portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Praskovya Fedorovna came of a good famil
Pie
As usual in life, motives can be complicated. The theme of Ivan Illych marrying this woman because of her money and her social position is one possibility that he discusses (she comes from a "good" family and has some property). The other theme is that she is pretty and he fell in love with her and to some extent she complements his views on life. In choosing from the options, re the themes, I would say that a) conforming to social conventions and b) the necessity of companionshp should be the two main themes in this excerpt.
