Question 16 Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (LC)
From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Then her conscience reproached her, and she yearned to say something kind and loving, but she
judged that this would be construed into a confession that she had been in the wrong, and discipline
forbade that. So she kept silence, and went about her affairs with a troubled heart. Tom sulked in a
corner and exalted his woes. He knew that in her heart his aunt was on her knees to him, and he was
morosely gratified by the consciousness of it. He would hang out no signals, he would take notice of
none. He knew that a yearning glance fell upon him, now and then, through a film of tears, but he
refused recognition of it. He pictured himselflying sick unto death and his aunt bending over him
beseeching one little forgiving word, but he would turn his face to the wall, and die with that word
unsaid. Ah, how would she feel then? And he pictured himself brought home from the river, dead, with
his curis all wet, and his sore heart at rest. How she would throw herself upon him, and how her tears
would fall like rain, and her lips pray God to give her back her boy and she would never, never abuse
him any more! But he would lie there cold and white and make no sign-a poor little sufferer, whose
griefs were at an end. He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos of these dreams, that he had to
keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed when
he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose. And such a luxury to him was this
petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight
intrude upon it, it was too sacred for such contact, and so, presently, when his cousin Mary danced in,
all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up
and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other.

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted.
