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.

Answer:

The most reasonable plot prediction is that Huck and his father will engage in an altercation.

Step-by-step explanation:

After years of not seen his son, this are the first words that Pap says to Huck all of this because of jealousy and frustration after seeing all his son has made away from him, he is showing himself as an angry man who will not doubt of getting into conflict, while Huck will protect what he has done and got so far since he is proud of it, this conflict of perspectives will lead them to an altercation.
