Question

"It's so. You can do it. I had my doubts when you told me. Now looky here; you stop that putting on frills. I won't have it. I'll lay for you, my smarty; and if I catch you about that school I'll tan you good. First you know you'll get religion, too. I never see such a son."
What do these words by Huck’s father reveal about his character?
A. He wants Huck to have a better life than he himself had.
B. He does not believe that Huck will succeed academically.
C. He believes that education will make Huck feel superior.
D. He feels that religion is the only subject worthy of study.

Answer 1

b.he believes that education will make huck feel superior.

Answer 2

C. He believes that education will make Huck feel superior. 

This is shown by him saying "stop putting on frills" and "I'll lay for you, my smarty."

He does believe Huck can do it, he says so at the beginning so it is not B.  He does not like religion either.  He says "First you know you'll get religion, too."  so it's not D.  There is nothing in the passage that talks about a better life or any kind of comparison of their lives so it is not A.  So it must be C.

Hope that helps.
