The passage intends to show Huck's father as uneducated and ignorant, as shown in the second answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The excerpt shown above is a speech by Huck's father.
  • In this passage, he shows a strong aversion to education and doesn't want Huck to go to school.
  • That's because he thinks the school will make Huck superior to him, allowing Huck to be ashamed of his father.
  • In that case, he wants Huck not to be educated, like him, so that Huck will never feel superior.

This shows how ignorant and uneducated Huck's father is, wanting Huck to match his ignorance.
