From this passage, the reader can infer that the speaker, Huck Finn, values: a) the law, the courts, and the government; b) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief; c) wealth, material goods, and the love of women; or d) respectability, civilization, and polite manners.

Excerpt from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain:

"Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and I 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 took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all year round—more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas 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. So when I couldn't stand it any longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer 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."

The correct answer is b. thank me if its correct.
B) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief.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.

The answer is: B) freedom, plain-spoken speech, and mischief.  In the passage from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," by Mark Twain, the protagonist makes reference to the robbers' money he and Tom found in the cave. After receiving a dollar a day, he is adopted by the Widow Douglas, However, he then prefers to be independent than to follow her appropriate rules. He also uses a straightforward manner of speaking, especially to the window and her sister, and goes back to the house after Tom invites him to become a member of a band of robbers.
