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.

To support the claim Orwell provides a hypothetical situation with someone using unclear language, as shown in the second answer option.
<h3>What is a hypothetical situation?</h3>
- An invented situation.
- A situation that does not exist in real life.
Orwell wanted to show how people defend questionable behavior with difficult language, without objectivity, and with little clarity. This ends up confusing citizens and leading them to defend situations they cannot understand.

D. the peacefulness of the park
Explanation:
The author of this passage was able to, very skillfully, paint a picture in our minds. Because of the descriptive details used, we can now vividly imagine a peaceful park. Just a couple of fishermen, a lone dog walking by, the setting sun and the flowers, all those elements contribute to the aura of tranquility. There is not much activity - almost none at all. It is the end of the day, that lazy moment when the world seems to be going to sleep. The use of the following words helps convey such peacefulness: waned; strolled; danced; crickets; etc.
