Question

Read this passage from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In what way could most readers connect Huck's experience to their own experiences?

I set down one time back in the woods, and had a long think about it. I says to myself, if a body can get anything they pray for, why don't Deacon
Winn get back the money he lost on pork? Why can't the widow get back her silver snuffbox that was stole? Why can't Miss Watson fat up? No,
says I to myself, there ain't nothing in it. I went and told the widow about it, and she said the thing a body could get by praying for it was "spiritual
gifts." This was too many for me, but she told me what she meant-I must help other people, and do everything I could for other people, and look
out for them all the time, and never think about myself. This was including Miss Watson, as I took it. I went out in the woods and turned it over in
my mind a long time, but I couldn't see no advantage about it-except for the other people; so at last I reckoned I wouldn't worry about it anymore,
but just let it go.


a) Everyone has experienced going to the woods to think things through

b) Everyone has experienced not being able to understand something.

c) Everyone has experienced praying for things and getting them.

d) Everyone has experience being raised by an adoptive or foster parent.​

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trust me, I had the same question as you.

Answer 2

b) Everyone has experienced not being able to understand something.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only option that truly represents something that everyone can relate to. In this passage, Huck explains how he was confused by the idea of "spiritual gifts." Even though he thought about it a lot, and the widow explained it to him, he is still confused about the concept. The reader can most likely relate to this experience because everyone has experienced not being able to understand something.
