Which statement describes an example of irony from chapters 22 and 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

The irony is that the men who seem uneducated and ridiculous manage to fool the townspeople with their performance. In chapter 23, the King recites Shakespeare and the audience is impressed, even though he and the Duke are con artists rather than true royalty or respected actors. This makes C, “the uneducated ‘rapscallions’ are actually quite clever and successfully outwit the townspeople,” the best choice.
