Hi, and welcome to the forum. :hi:

It doesn't really say "words large". It says "make the words large enough". Does that help?

You study English. The book teaches it.

This is important: what is the name and author of the book? Forum rules require that you provide this information for everything you quote. If the book's cover doesn't list the author's name, tell us that.

He's going to use big words so his readers will respect him.

Something to keep in mind EUNJJUNG, when reading Mark Twain, is that he is almost always joking. He was a professional joker. In other words, making jokes is what he did for a living.
