Everybody sings out, “sold! ” and rose up mad, and was a-going for that stage and them tragedians. but a big, fine looking man jumps up on a bench and shouts: “hold on! just a word, gentlemen.” they stopped to listen. “we are sold – mighty badly sold. but we don't want to be the laughing stock of this whole town, i reckon, and never hear the last of this thing as long as we live. no. what we want is to go out of here quiet, and talk this show up, and sell the rest of the town! then we'll all be in the same boat. ain't that sensible? ” (“you bet it is! – the jedge is right! ” everybody sings out.) “all right, then – not a word about any sell. go along home, and advise everybody to come and see the tragedy.” —the adventures of huckleberry finn mark twain whom is twain ridiculing? check the two boxes that apply. the duke the king the judge (“jedge”) the townspeople huck

The two correct answers are: “the townspeople” and "the judge (“jedge”)". Taken from the novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain (1884), Twain ridicules the townspeople and the judge in the excerpt presented above. In this passage from Chapter 23 of the novel, the duke and the dauphin make a performance so brief that the crowd nearly attacks them. They recited lines from Shakespeare in some shows, but they did not know the full meaning of the words. Twain here ridicules the townspeople  and the judge because of their level of ignorance; townspeople could be easily deceived, since they did not have a basic education. Twain ridicules them through the irony in the judge’s statement saying that the townspeople truly believe it is more sensible to devise a plan to fool the others too instead of admitting they have been fooled. Finally, Huck and the duke did not perform a third show and escaped before the townspeople coming to get their revenge attack them.
