Answer: C) to make the reader comfortable with the character
Explanation:
<em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> is Mark Twain's 1885 novel about a boy and his journey with a runaway slave down the Mississippi river.
From the very beginning of the novel, Huck (the narrator) speaks in a friendly and uneducated style. His speech often includes grammar mistakes such as 'no' instead of 'any'. Although he lacks proper education, Huck is familiar with the river and nature, and provides detailed, interesting descriptions on this topic.
In this excerpt, Huck invites the readers to accompany him on his journey, regardless of whether they have read the prequel (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer). The use of conversational tone develops trust between the readers and Huck, and differentiates him from adult, often deceitful characters.
