which sentence uses humor in the excerpt?
interview with president lincoln
by charles farrar browne (excerpt)
\mr. linkin, who do you spect i air?\ sed i.
\a orfice - seeker, to be sure,\ sed he.
\wall, sir,\ sed i, \yous never more mistaken in your life. im the father of twins, and they look like me--both of them. i come to pay a friendly visit to the president elect of the united states.
if so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so im orf like a jug handle.\
\mr. ward, sit down. i am glad to see you, sir.\

Explanation:

To determine the sentence with humor, we analyze the excerpt. The sentence "If so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so I'm orf like a jug handle." uses a comical phrase "orf like a jug handle" (a playful, folksy way to say leaving) and the humorous tone of the speaker's self - deprecating and whimsical language. Also, "I'm the father of Twins, and they look like me--BOTH OF THEM. I come to pay a friendly visit to the President elect of the United States. Mr. Ward, sit down. I am glad to see you, Sir." has a humorous contrast between the grand title of "President elect" and the speaker's down - to - earth, almost absurd introduction about his twins looking like him. But the most likely humorous sentence is "If so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so I'm orf like a jug handle." due to its whimsical phrasing.

Answer:

If so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so I'm orf like a jug handle.
