Read the excerpt from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which Huck describes his father. He was most fifty, an

d he looked it. His hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. It was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed-up whiskers. There warn't no color in his face, where his face showed; it was white; not like another man's white, but a white to make a body sick, a white to make a body's flesh crawl—a tree-toad white, a fish-belly white. As for his clothes—just rags, that was all. He had one ankle resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. His hat was laying on the floor—an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid. Which best describes the effect of the narration?
It gives the reader an objective view of Huck’s father.
It foreshadows Huck’s argument with his father.
It helps the reader see Huck’s father through Huck’s eyes.
It distances the reader from Huck and his father.

I believe it should be A., since there are no emotions evolved in the description of Huck's Father, you can cross out C definitely, and it doesn't seem to foreshadow anything, but it is very descriptive and vivid, so the reader can picture the man in their mind, objective being based on looks without knowing the personality.

Answer:

D. To express a strong feeling by making it seem insignificant.

Explanation:

The author's most likely purpose is to express a strong feeling by making it seem insignificant. This rhetorical device is called "understatement." An understatement happens when an author describes something in a way that is less strong than what would normally be expected. In this case, although the sun is extremely strong, the speaker describes the day as "a bit warm." This device tries to draw attention to a strong feeling by making it seem insignificant.
