Question #N710

In the novel *The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn* by Mark Twain, the young protagonist, Huck, embarks on a journey down the Mississippi River with Jim, a runaway slave. Huck’s journey forces him to confront the injustices of slavery and to question the morality of the society in which he lives. Huck’s experiences, as a young boy coming of age, challenge him to understand the complexities of race, friendship, and freedom in a rapidly changing world. How, for instance, is the impact of Huck’s journey reflected in the novel?

Which choice best completes the text with the most logical transition?
A. It is an account of his experiences that forces Huck to change.
B. Huck's experiences are reflected in his evolving understanding of the world.
C. Huck’s journey is the most important aspect of the novel.
D. Huck's journey is a long and arduous one.

Correct Answer is: B

The sentence before the blank states that Huck's journey challenges him to understand complexities, and the sentence after the blank describes the novel's focus on those complexities. Therefore, the logical transition is to explain how the journey affects Huck's understanding. Choice B correctly makes that connection. Choice A is incorrect because it describes what the journey does, not how it is reflected. Choice C is incorrect because it is not relevant to the prompt's focus on the word "you." Choice D is incorrect because it provides unnecessary background information that is not directly relevant to the prompt.
