Read the quotation from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which Huck’s father is speaking to him."Don't you give me none o' your lip," says he. "You've put on considerable many frills since I been away. . . You're educated, too, they say—can read and write. You think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because he can't? . . . Who told you you might meddle with such hifalut'n foolishness, hey?—who told you you could?"Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?
Answer
A
Huck and his father will engage in an altercation.
B
Huck and his father will have a friendly conversation.
C
Huck’s father will admit that he is jealous of this son.
D
Huck’s father will apologize for insulting his son.
Explanation
Huck’s father speaks angrily and orders him not to “give me none o’ your lip.” He also accuses Huck of thinking he is better than his father because he can read and write. This hostile tone makes an altercation the most reasonable prediction; a friendly conversation or an apology is not suggested.
