Answer 2

Answer:

d) Huck believes that many people cannot be totally trusted.

Explanation:

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain tells the adventurous story of a young orphan boy Huck and his numerous encounters with different sorts of people. The whole novel spins around his adventures, from escaping his aunt's place with a runaway slave to being partners with a fake 'king and duke'.

The given passage from Chapter 23 shows the scene right after the party of four, Huck, Jim, the king and the duke had escaped from duping a whole village of their money. Jim had been observant of the ways and manners of the duke and king and had wanted to know what Huck thinks of when he got the reply that people like them "are all alike". Huck had tread about the ancient royalties, the past kings like Henry VIII, Charles II, James II etc among other who had behaved dishonorably. So he just presumed and kept it in one opinion that many people cannot be fully trusted, whatever they may be doing. Same is the case for the duke and king, their partner in the journey.
