What does this excerpt from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer reveal about Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer?

About noon the next day the boys arrived at the dead tree; they had come for their tools. Tom was impatient to go to the haunted house; Huck was measurably so, also—but suddenly said:

"Lookyhere, Tom, do you know what day it is?"

Tom mentally ran over the days of the week, and then quickly lifted his eyes with a startled look in them—

"My! I never once thought of it, Huck!"

"Well, I didn't neither, but all at once it popped onto me that it was Friday."

"Blame it, a body can't be too careful, Huck. We might 'a' got into an awful scrape, tackling such a thing on a Friday."

"Might! Better say we would! There's some lucky days, maybe, but Friday ain't."

"Any fool knows that. I don't reckon you was the first that found it out, Huck."

A.
Both are superstitious.
B.
Both are religious.
C.
Both are spiritual.
D.
Both are practical.

Respuesta :

Answer is A, because they both superstitiously believe Friday is unlucky

Answer: The right answer is the A) Both are superstitious.

Explanation: Just to elaborate further on the answer, it can be added that the excerpt reveals that they are superstitious, since they believe that Fridays are unlucky days and, therefore, they are afraid to go to the haunted house. There are many other references throughout the text to their superstitions. It is relevant to recall that it was Friday when Tom missed school intentionally and got his clothes dirty after getting into a fight. As a result, he was told to paint the fence with whitewash as a punishment.
