Reread the first paragraph of O.Henry's short story "Hearts and Hands."

At Denver there was an influx of passengers into the coaches on the eastbound B. & M. express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank countenance and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed together.
What part of the paragraph helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story?
1. the descriptions of the two men who have just entered the train car
2. details about the clothing of the young woman on the train
3. the fact that B. & M. express train was headed east from Denver
4. the fact that two men were handcuffed together

Answer:

4. the fact that two men were handcuffed together

Explanation:

I have not read this story, unfortunately, but I can infer that them being handcuffed together would cause some misunderstandings.

I hope this helped :)

(I'm not stalking your questions lol, they keep popping up on my feed and I'm good with English)

The part of the paragraph that helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story is -  the fact that two men were handcuffed together.

Hearts And Hands by O. Henry, was originally published under his pseudonym, Sidney Porter, in 1902. The story is full of twists and wordplay, as was O.Henry's own life.

This short story evolves around a marshal, a prisoner, and an acquaintance of the prisoner on a train. The story describes the chance encounter on a train, between two acquaintances – Miss Fairchild and Mr Easton. The story presents an ironical situation with a surprise ending. The irony at the end of the story makes the story interesting. The story ‘Hearts and Hands’ is set in a train to Denver.

Thus, the part of the paragraph that helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story is -  the fact that two men were handcuffed together.

Imagine Alice has returned from her journey down the rabbit hole and is retelling the events to her sister. Write a story from Alice's point of view, in which Alice explains what happened to her after she reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. Be sure to use dialog to show how Alice's sister responds to the story. Use details from the audio recording in your response.

Titlte: Down the Rabbit Hole
Adapted from Down the Rabbit Hole, the first chapter in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, public domain.
Little Alice sat by the riverbank listening to her eldest sister read a picture–less book. Inattentive, Alice daydreamed about picking daisies. Just then, she saw a white rabbit with crimson eyes run by her. It did not appear bizarre to Alice that the rabbit spoke while carrying a pocket watch. "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!" cried Rabbit. Curiously, Alice followed the rabbit into a large rabbit hole near the hedge.
Suddenly, Alice tumbled down without wondering how she was to get out of the rabbit's hole. This immeasurable hole, to Alice, seemed like a bottomless well. She fell deeper and deeper while watching peculiar and curious things. The sides of the well were books piled high on book shelves. Here and there were maps hung on dowels and a jelly jar without any jelly.
Down, down, down, she tumbled. "Would the fall ever come to an end?" she inquisitively thought. Absent of worry, Alice thought about how her cat, Dinah, would miss her. She hoped Dinah would get her milk at tea–time. "Oh Dinah," she continued, "I wish you were here with me. You could catch some flying bats. Wait, do cats eat bats?" As one could tell, Alice's thoughts, at this point, were free of apprehension.
Thump, thud, bump! She landed on a mound of sticks and dry leaves. Not a bit hurt, Alice swiftly jumped to her feet looking for the white rabbit. Off like the wind, she ran when she heard, "Oh my ears, how late it is!" It ought to be the rabbit, but she did not, in fact, catch a glimpse of him. Alice found herself in a long hall with a very low roof, surrounded by locked doors on all sides. Glimpsing around once more, she found a curtain, which she had not seen at first. This led to a miniature door, approximately a foot high, maybe less. Oh, how she longed to be small enough to fit. Alice looked through the keyhole and saw the loveliest of botanical gardens. "Where was the key?" she thought. And then she saw it placed on a four–legged table which rested in the corner.
Alice looked around and found on the table with a tag that said DRINK ME. Could it be toxic? She dared to drink it, which made her feel quite bizarre. So it was, Alice was now almost a foot high. "Perfect!" Alice said, for she could now fit through the petite door and get out to that exquisite garden.
However, she realized that she needed the golden key to open the door, and it was still placed on the very, very, very large table. She began to cry, until she gazed at an especially small cake beautifully marked with words in currents saying "Eat me". Alice thought, "If it makes me grow taller, I can reach the key; however, if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door crack. I rather don't care what happens." So she anxiously ate a little bit and saw no result. So she set to work and finished off the cake.

What does "every cloud has a silver lining." mean?​

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Select one piece of evidence that supports the situational irony of the poem.

Nothing beside remains
I met a traveler
Sneer of cold command
Its sculptor well those passions read
