In this situation, Huck is trying to be impressive.  He is trying to get the point across that he is funny and "cool".  This lie is not only the one of a kind for Huck, but also one where he tries to push his reputation past its limits.

In the book "<em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em>"  by American writer Mark Twain, chapter 28 shows a more prolific Huck when he makes up the "<em>pluribus-unum mumps</em>" story to protect Mary Jane who is off, making sure Susan doesn't say anything about her sister's non appearance; and albeit Huck lies frequently, some lies such as the ones to save Jim seem to be fine and funny, Huck well estimates the Duke and King and he doesn't want to get busted by them and suffer any fatal consequences, due he knows they're scoundrels, thus this time he gets more meticulous when telling that story.

Answer:

The idea unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments is Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity  adapted from the National Park Service  paved the way for  theories about  electricity.

Explanation:

The Statement that Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired  study its properties is true because he started studying the properties of electricity in 1746 and devoted more time to it after retiring in 1788. He conducted his famous kite experiment in June 1752. Also, the statement that he never patented any of his inventions is also true and is supported by authors arguments. Franklin's influence in the early history of the United States has led people to call him "the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States". He is largely self educated because though he attended the school he did not graduate, but continued his education through voracious reading.

Which of the following correctly describe biographical details of George Gordon Lord Byron? Select all that apply.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1. Born with a clubfoot.

2. He came into his inheritance at the age of ten.

4. Many of his contemporaries, with the notable exception of Shelley, disliked the man and his work.

Lord Byron was a British poet, peer, politician and one of the most important figures in the Romantic movement. Byron was a good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, fellow poet, and his wife, Mary Shelley, author of <em>Frankenstein</em>.

Byron was also born with a clubfoot, and inherited great fortune and land early on. The incorrect statement, however, is the third one. Byron's title was inherited from his great uncle, the "wicked" Lord Byron, when he passed away in 1798. This made him the 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale and owner of Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire.
