Answer:

C. "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?"

Explanation:

Mark Twain's children adventure novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" tells the adventures of a young boy named Huck Finn. He was looking for adventure and freedom, which he thinks he got when he set out on his own along with a black slave Jim, and then accumulating friend/ companions on the way.

The duke and the king are two impostors who had been cheating unwitting people out of their things and money. Their attitude towards the people can be best seen in the lines from Chapter 26 where they were in a town and fooling the townspeople into buying their wares. The reality was those things they were selling were not theirs but rather the property of the orphanage. The lines "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?" shows just how they think the people may be foolish enough for them. They were selling and robbing the orphans from their only possession, including the house. This shows how they (the king and duke) were unsympathetic towards even the orphans, thinking only for their own profit.

In at least one hundred words, what is the speaker asking the swan in this excerpt from “Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale” by

Elodia [21]

The swan is a metaphor of our soul, which is timeless and ancient. The speaker wants to know where the swan is going, what is wants and what is the purpose of life. He requests our soul to go with him in knowing that God is us and the answer to “Who Am I” which was written on the wind of God’s impulse to realize Himself that blew over His being in creation’s beginning. And to attach to God deliberately on the way to know Him is the joy of loving God, similar as a bee that will cultivate and finish our sorrows by ending desire. With that connection, there’s no doubt regarding God and that forever exists.

How should the bolded words in the sentence be contracted? NOBODY is going to believe him!

Lana71 [14]

'Nobody' is basically contracted in itself, I don't believe you can decrease the word further.
