D)to assist the mob who seeks to lynch Colonel Sherburn

the one i was thinking is C or B but im not 100% sure

Respuesta :

C)to print leaflets announcing Jim as a runaway slave

The correct answer is B.

In Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," The Duke takes over the printing office in town so he can print leaflets offering a reward for the capture of Jim, an escaped slave.

This way, they could walk freely during the day because if someone were to inquiry about Jim, they would simply say that they had taken him for the reward and was now their prisoner.
