Answer:
b). Huck will confidently face his father.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the given excerpt, the most logical plot prediction that can be made would be that 'Huck will now confront his father confidently.' This is because the descriptions provided in the excerpt reveal that Huck has realized his mistake of misunderstanding his father. He now understood that his father is not the same way as he thought him to be(fearful and strict) as reflected by his father's caring and concerned nature when he suffered 'the first jolt.' Therefore, he would now feel comfortable talking and getting along with him. Thus, option b is the correct answer.
