Question

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Answer 1

The most likely reason that Twain wrote the passage in nonstandard English dialect is A. to show that the narrator is uneducated.
The narrator is Huckleberry Finn, who is a boy who never liked school, so he never tried to work hard and study in order to become literate and educated. This is why he is using nonstandard English instead of the standard, grammatically correct English. I'm quite sure a writer such as Twain knew how to speak properly, which is why B is incorrect. C is also incorrect because Twain wouldn't offend his audience like that. D is incorrect because the Widow Douglass is irrelevant in this excerpt.
