I would say C. a poem that tells a story
Answer:
The correct answer is C: to make the reader comfortable with the character.
Explanation:
Mark Twain uses a conversational tone when writing from Huckleberry Finn's perspective to make the reader comfortable with the character. He tries to make Finn's character more approachable and closer to the readers, in order to expand the scope of the reader's view. Huckleberry's tone is friendly, naive, and a little bit uneducated, but despite that, he manages to gain sympathies of the readers.
From the many books I have read I would say the author would use forshadowing or a very short description of the character when introduced.

1) feminine name
2) uncomfortably hot
3) a sudden panicked rush of a number of horses or other animals
4) extreme fear of confined places
5) hospital ship belonging to the charitable organization Mercy Ships
