Excerpt from: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain

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.

Answer 1

the correct answer is b. thank me if its correct.

Answer 2

B) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the things that the reader can tell that the speaker, Huck Finn, values. In this passage, we learn that Huck values freedom because he tells us that when he left the widow he was "free and satisfied." We also learn that Huck likes speaking in a plain speech because of all the colloquial words and dialect he employs. Finally, we can tell he likes mischief because he wants to join the band of robbers that Tom Sawyer started.
