"Well, it don't, because it's in the breed. I reckon they're all alike." What does the dialogue between Huck and Jim reveal about Huck’s beliefs?
Answer
A
Huck believes that no one is able to be completely honest.
B
Huck believes that many people cannot be totally trusted.
C
Huck believes that all people of royal stature are clever.
D
Huck believes that only common people have any worth.
Explanation
Huck says that kings “are all alike,” suggesting he sees their deceptive behavior as typical of people in that position. The dialogue reveals that he believes some people—especially these kings—cannot be fully trusted. This matches “many people cannot be totally trusted,” not the idea that all royal people are clever.
