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.

Huck's father does not seem the type to engage in 2, 3, or 4. Your best bet is probably that he will get in an altercation with Huck.
