thoughts on this one?

if nothing stands out to you, try thinking about answer choices that wouldn't work for this question

for example, B does not describe a realistic character, and it's not even true about Huck/the book anyway, and D is true but doesn't say anything about how he's being portrayed realistically

so between A+C which one do you think better demonstrates how Huck is portrayed as a realistic character?
