Answer: The two correct answers are: “the townspeople” and "the judge (“jedge”)". Taken from the novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain (1884), Twain ridicules the townspeople and the judge in the excerpt presented above. In this passage from Chapter 23 of the novel, the duke and the dauphin make a performance so brief that the crowd nearly attacks them. They recited lines from Shakespeare in some shows, but they did not know the full meaning of the words. Twain here ridicules the townspeople and the judge because of their level of ignorance; townspeople could be easily deceived, since they did not have a basic education. Twain ridicules them through the irony in the judge’s statement saying that the townspeople truly believe it is more sensible to devise a plan to fool the others too instead of admitting they have been fooled. Finally, Huck and the duke did not perform a third show and escaped before the townspeople coming to get their revenge attack them.
