Read the quotation from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which Huck is discussing his father.I HAD shut the door to. Then I turned around and there he was. I used to be scared of him all the time, . . . I reckoned I was scared now, too; but in a minute I see I was mistaken—that is, after the first jolt, as you may say, when my breath sort of hitched, he being so unexpected; but right away after I see I warn't scared of him worth bothring about.Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?
Answer
A
Huck will once again start fearing his father.
B
Huck will confidently face his father.
C
Huck will refuse to speak to his father.
D
Huck will be forced to make a choice about his father.
Explanation
Huck says he used to be scared of his father, but after the initial shock of seeing him, he realizes he is “not scared of him worth bothering about.” This suggests Huck will feel more confident and face his father rather than avoid him or become afraid again. The best prediction is that Huck will confidently face his father.
