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.
The statements that correctly contribute to the theme that insistence on physical perfection often leads to emotional harm are;
- "'Then why did you take me from my mother’s side? You cannot love what shocks you!'"
- "Aylmer’s somber imagination was not long in rendering the birthmark a frightful object, causing him more trouble and horror than ever Georgiana’s beauty, whether of soul or sense, had given him delight."
The two statements, culled from The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne, show individuals who are troubled because of insistence on physical features. In the first sentence, the woman Georgina wonders why her husband Aylmer will marry her when the birthmark on her face shocks him. She is deeply angered by this.
In the second sentence, Aylmer is so invested in a birthmark that he feels troubled. These two experiences indicate that an insistence on physical features can cause emotional harm.
