Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the question that follows.

Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

The term abstract is used to refer to paintings and other art. Which of the following is the best definition of abstract as it applies to art?

using shapes and colors to depict something real
using shapes and colors to depict something real

using shapes and colors that do not represent things
using shapes and colors that do not represent things

using shapes and colors to express sad emotions
using shapes and colors to express sad emotions

using shapes and colors that are hard to understand


will get brainlist

Answers

Answer: Using shapes and color that do not represent things

Answer:

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "using shapes and colors to depict something real" is correct.

Explanation:

Typically, artists who do abstract art use shapes and colors to express things like emotion. They can do abstract art about a real event, or how they feel about it. It isn't entirely limited to expressing sad emotions, though. It isn't limited to shapes and colors that are hard to understand, either. But all of these answers are technically real. Including the "using shapes and colors that do not represent things" answer, abstract art like that can be interpreted to the feeling of emptiness.

The Beggar and the King

by Winthrop Parkhurst

[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]

[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]

THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.

THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?

THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.

THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?

THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.

THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.

THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.

THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?

THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.

THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.

THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.

THE KING: Then bring out the spears.

THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.

THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?

THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.

THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.

THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.

THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.

THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.

THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.

THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.

THE KING: I am listening.

THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.

THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
Read this excerpt from The Beggar and the King.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

How does this dialogue affect the action of the story?


It prompts the king to order that the beggar be fed and sheltered.

It forces the king to examine how poorly he treats his subjects.

It causes the king to make a declaration that having two tongues is treasonous.

It makes the king become fearful of the beggar and what he might be planning.

Who was Mark Twain?

American novelist, stand-up comedian, and travel writer Mark Twain achieved success. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) are two of his best-known works (1885). Many people agree that Twain is among the greatest American authors of all time.

2. Twain uses exaggeration to create a humorous voice in this excerpt when he explains that he commits murder when he is actually telling lies. Future American authors used Mark Twain's wide use of exaggeration and other literary methods as a model.

Hence, Twain added comedy and improved the overall quality of his writing by using severe exaggeration.
