What angers the townspeople the most when the king is selling the Wilks’ slaves is that:

He separates parents and children in the sale.

 

Separating the parents and children in the sale is a strategy that they thought of to sell the slaves faster. However, the girls found breaking up the family insensitive – which made them upset. There were also a lot of the townspeople who disapproved at separating the families, but the men were still firm on doing it.

The proper answer is “C. He separates parents children in the sale.”


You are referencing a scene from _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ where slaves that once belonged to the now-deceased Peter Wilks are being sold off by the King and Duke.  The fact that the slaves are being sold is not what gets people angry.   What angers people is that the family of slaves is broken up in order to have the sold faster separately than they would have been had they been sold together as a family.

Chapter 23 (of Huckleberry Finn)
malfutka [58]

The king and the duke were forced to leave the town as they had already hosted theater play shows in the town. Their performance was so bad that the audience wanted their money back. Luckily one of the audience members suggested to themselves that instead of getting their money back, they should let other townsmen come in and spend on the show and then maybe get their money back so that they do not appear stupid to have spent money on a worthless show.

Explanation:

The King and the duke cannot stay in the town for another night and so they flee with what money they collected in two days’ show.
