Read the quotation from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which Huck’s father is speaking to him.
"Don't you give me none o' your lip," says he. "You've put on
considerable many frills since I been away. I'll take you down a peg
before I get done with you. You're educated, too, they say—can read and
write. You think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because he
can't? I'LL take it out of you. Who told you you might meddle with such
hifalut'n foolishness, hey?—who told you you could?"
Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?
Huck and his father will engage in an altercation.
Huck and his father will have a friendly conversation.
Huck’s father will admit that he is jealous of this son.
Huck’s father will apologize for insulting his son.

Respuesta :

I believe the answer will be "Huck and his father will engage in an altercation." The small text reveals that Huck's father will take it out on Huck, and that Huck thinks he's better than him. An altercation is a noisy argument, so this directly correlates to the answer.
If you know anything about Huck's father, you know that he is a criminal and a drunkard who doesn't want his son to have good thinks in his life. Thus, he will certainly not have a friendly conversation, admit his jealousy, or apologize to his son, which means that the correct answer is Huck and his father will engage in an altercation. Altercation is pretty much a fight.
