Read the passage.
excerpt from “france” from the innocents abroad by mark twain.
which quotation is an example of twains use of rhetoric to advance his purpose?

A.

Explanation:

The first option is the best example of Twain's use of rhetoric in order to advance his purpose. In this line, Twain uses the device of repetition when he says "never, never, never." This is a common rhetorical device intended to highlight a particular element of a story. In this case, it is used to show how deeply horrible Twain's experience was. Moreover, it shows that he does not ever want to repeat the experience of getting a Parisian barber again.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
