Question

What is ironic about this quote?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Huck doesn't seem to realize he is a rapscallion like the others.

Explanation:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a book by American author Mark Twain, and it is considered as the second part of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The widow referred to in the question is Douglas' widow, who cared about Tom and Huck.

Irony is a rhetorical devices that conveys a different meaning (sometimes the opposite) than the words expressed in the text. In the excerpt, we can see how Huck refers to "that gang" and "these rapscallions" as if he were not part of that group; however, since he used to help them, it is reasonable to consider him as part of the group, something he does not realize.
