Explanation

Mark Twain was an American writer who found in his own life the inspiration for his literary works. He grew up in Hannibal, a small riverside town of the Mississippi. At age of twelve years old, he dropped out of studies and entered as an apprentice typographer in an editorial, while he began writing his first newspaper articles; already in 1851, he published notes in his brother's newspaper. Subsequently, he was a steamboat pilot, a Confederation soldier during the Civil War, and a miner in the Nevada silver mines. In 1862 he began working as a journalist at the Territorial Enterprise of Virginia City (Nevada) and, the following year, began signing with the pseudonym Mark Twain, which in the Mississippi means two fathoms deep. He stood out for expressing his criticism against racism, slavery and other conflicting social issues. His main literary works are The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1882), a work also set on the banks of the Mississippi and Tom Sawyer, his best-known work and which is said to be autobiographical being an icon of American literature. So, the correct answer is A. Journalist, soldier, riverboat pilot.
