Comprehension TASK 4-Fiction Read the passage, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and answer questions 19 to 25. The following is an excerpt from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain. The story is set in the nineteenth century, in the USA. The main character, the narrator, is a boy called Huckleberry. He lives with Widow Douglas, who has been teaching him about Moses. Pretty soon I wanted to smoke and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it anymore. That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. Here she was a- bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet 5 finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff too; of course that was all right, because she done it herself. Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable, slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn't stood it much longer. Then for an hour it 10 was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, Don't scrunch up like that, Huckleberry-set up straight;" and pretty soon she would say, "Don't gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry-why don't you try to behave?" Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular. She said it was wicked to say what I 15 said; said she wouldn't say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place. Well, I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn't try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn't do no good. 19.
