Which sentences in this excerpt from oliver twist by charles dickens reflect the author's satirical tone? "goodness gracious! is that you, mr. bumble, sir? " said mrs. mann, thrusting her head out of the window in well-affected ecstasies of joy. "(susan, take oliver and them two brats upstairs, and wash 'em heart alive! mr. bumble, how glad i am to see you, sure-ly! " now, mr. bumble was a fat man, and a choleric; so, instead of responding to this open-hearted salutation in a kindred spirit, he gave the little wicket a tremendous shake, and then bestowed upon it a kick which could have emanated from no leg but a beadle's. "lor, only think," said mrs. mann, running out,—for the three boys had been removed by this time,—"only think of that! that i should have forgotten that the gate was bolted on the inside, on account of them dear children! walk in sir; walk in, pray, mr. bumble, do, sir. " although this invitation was accompanied with a curtsey that might have softened the heart of a church-warden, it by no means mollified the beadle. "do you think this respectful or proper conduct, mrs. mann," inquired mr. bumble, grasping his cane, "to keep the parish officers a waiting at your garden-gate, when they come here upon porochial business with the porochial orphans? are you aweer, mrs. mann, that you are, as i may say, a porochial delegate, and a stipendiary? "

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
