Read the excerpt below and answer the question. It was a close place. I took...up [the letter I'd written to Miss Watson], and h
eld it in my hand. I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: "All right then, I'll go to hell"—and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no more about reforming. The excerpt above represents the _____ of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. A)anticlimax B)climax C)conflict D)denouement
In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the climax occurs when Huck makes the bold decision to help Jim become a free man. As a consequence, he writes a letter to Miss Watson and tells her that the Phelps family is holding Jim.
The rest of the options are incorrect because the anti-climax is the disappointing end of Jim's capture. Besides, the conflict arises at the beginning when Huck is attempted to be civilized by the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Finally, the denouement or final part when problems are resolved happens when Jim is freed, Tom recovers from his wound and Huck decides to travel to the west.
