The correct answer is (C).

As Mark Twain often does, he is

making an exaggerated comparison to make his point. In this

case, he is making the point that Lake Tahoe has significant

rehabilitative powers, choice (C). Reviving a long-dead mummy

is his way of using wit to drive home his point. There is no

reference in the selection to the spiritual power of Lake Tahoe,

so choice (A) can be eliminated. Choice (B) doesn’t make sense

in relation to a mummy. Choice (D), antiquity, and choice (E),

arid climate, are distracters.
