school and gone swimming

school so we could go swimming

to be sure you played hookey and went swimming.
fine. i'll believe you. but i'll be certain you don't skip
school and go swimming.

Oh dear. I didn't realize we'd be talking so late. I meant to be sure you played hokey and went swimming.

Option C.

Explanation:

The line that has been given above from Tom Sawyer is not in standard English. It is a dialect that is to be translated into standard English.

In Standard English it would mean that the person is trying to say that he just wanted to make sure that the boy went for both, to play hokey also and went for swimming also. He wanted to make sure both the things.

The correct answer is A) Darn! Okay, you can go. I was sure you'd skipped school and gone swimming

Explanation:

Here, Aunt Polly is interrogating Tom to see if he skipped school and went swimming. When Tom somehow manages to prove her wrong, she expressed her dismay at being wrong and confirms she had suspected that he had "played hookey," or skipped school, and gone swimming instead.

If you read the excerpt from this section of the book and its surrounding context, you will definitely see what I mean.

I hope this helps you and anyone else who needs this correct answer! :)

jenkins wanted the narrator to write a ghost story for his magazine. he wanted the narrator to give the readers a story based on the supernatural. he wanted him to give the readers real 'horror' stories and not the type of live ghosts which he had presented in his earlier stories.
