The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain

1 You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly--Tom's Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.

2 Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.

A) Twain shows that the narrator is uneducated.
B) Twain does not know Standard American English.
C) Twain believes that his audience is uneducated.
D) Twain shows that the Widow Douglas is uneducated.

The most likely reason that Twain wrote the passage in nonstandard English dialect is A. to show that the narrator is uneducated.
The narrator is Huckleberry Finn, who is a boy who never liked school, so he never tried to work hard and study in order to become literate and educated. This is why he is using nonstandard English instead of the standard, grammatically correct English. I'm quite sure a writer such as Twain knew how to speak properly, which is why B is incorrect. C is also incorrect because Twain wouldn't offend his audience like that. D is incorrect because the Widow Douglass is irrelevant in this excerpt.
