In the excerpt from "The Californian's Tale," by Mark Twain, the colorful description is summarized by the next sentence:

"Old Charley arrived about twilight to listen to Henry read the letter, to discuss the party, and to keep his friend from worrying."

Option A is not right because it omits the duscussion. Alternative B is not correct because the men do not talk about past times and the statement does not mention Henry's fears, just like the affirmation in D.

Answer:

The sentence that BEST summarizes this colorful description is "Old Charley arrived about twilight to listen to Henry read the letter, to discuss the party, and to keep his friend from worrying."

Explanation:

Option C is the one that summarizes best the description since it covers all the important details in it, such as the reference to the word veteran which in the summary appears as old Charley, and the rest of the topics like the reading of the letter the party and the last line "did his best to drive away his friend's bodings and apprehensions" is represented by " keep his friend from worrying."
