Answer:

Jim and Huck are basing their opinion of all royalty on fake kings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of satire highlights how various figurative elements such as irony, exaggeration are used to demean or expose the actions or misdeeds of people. In the excerpt above, Jim and Huck made ridiculing remarks of royalty by tagging the rapscallion(rascals). Jim and Huck feels thebroyalty lines are of the same breed and makes a generalization of tagging all royalty as fake kings.
