In this situation, Huck is trying to be impressive.  He is trying to get the point across that he is funny and "cool".  This lie is not only the one of a kind for Huck, but also one where he tries to push his reputation past its limits.

In the book "<em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em>"  by American writer Mark Twain, chapter 28 shows a more prolific Huck when he makes up the "<em>pluribus-unum mumps</em>" story to protect Mary Jane who is off, making sure Susan doesn't say anything about her sister's non appearance; and albeit Huck lies frequently, some lies such as the ones to save Jim seem to be fine and funny, Huck well estimates the Duke and King and he doesn't want to get busted by them and suffer any fatal consequences, due he knows they're scoundrels, thus this time he gets more meticulous when telling that story.

Read the following excerpt from Sandra Cisneros’s story "Mericans."
kenny6666 [7]

The statement that describes the irony in the narrator's observation that the couple is "not from here" is "the narrator is not from 'here' either," option A.

<h3>What is irony?</h3>

Irony is usually described as a situation where the consequences or outcome is different from what we initially expected. Here, however, we are looking for the irony found in the narrator's words in the story "Mericans."

In this case, the irony is not about the situation or its outcome per se. It relates more to who is saying what about whom. The girl who narrates the story is "not from here," which means she is not completely American. She is of Mexican origin, but she still judges the couple she sees by saying they were clearly "not from here."

In other words, the irony is that everyone is "not from here" to someone. The narrator is "not from here" in the sense that she is Mexican. The couple is "not from here" in the sense that they are not Catholics.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
