He was most fifty, and he looked it. His hair was long and tangled and
greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he
was behind vines. It was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed-up
whiskers. There warn't no color in his face, where his face showed; it
was white; not like another man's white, but a white to make a body sick,
a white to make a body's flesh crawl—a tree-toad white, a fish-belly
white. As for his clothes—just rags, that was all. He had one ankle
resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his
toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. His hat was laying
on the floor—an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid.

It foreshadows Huck’s argument with his father.
It helps the reader see Huck’s father through Huck’s eyes.
It distances the reader from Huck and his father.

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is C) it helps the reader see Huck's father through Huck's eyes. 

Answer: The sentence that best describes the effect of the narration is "It helps the reader see Huck's father through Huck's eyes".

Explanation: The excerpt provided was taken from Mark Twain's novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This story is narrated from the point of view of Huck Finn, the main character; therefore, his thoughts and feelings are also part of the narration, which makes him an unreliable narrator. In the passage, Huck is describing his father's appearance and style, that is to say he is offering a subjective view abput his father. In that way, the option that best describes the effect of the narration is the third one: it helps the reader see Huck's father through Huck's eyes.
