Read the excerpt below and answer the question. …i had spoken too sudden, and said too much, and was in a close place. i asked her to let me think a minute…. so i went on studying it out. i says to myself, i reckon a body that ups and tells the truth when he is in a tight place, is taking considerable many resks, though i ain’t had no experience, and can’t say for certain; but it looks so to me, anyways; and yet here’s a case where i’m blest if it don’t look to me like the truth is better, and actuly safer, than a lie…. [i]t’s so kind of strange and unregular. i never see nothing like it. well, i says to myself at last, i’m agoing to chance it. i’ll up and tell the truth this time, though it does seem most like setting down on a kag of powder and touching it off just to see where you’ll go to. what prompts huck to tell the truth in this part of the story? he feels it is the right thing to do. he feels it is the safest thing to do. he wants the reward he will gain from it. he wants the con artists to get into trouble.

He feels it is the safest thing to do

Explanation: The excerpt is taken out of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. The author says "here's a case where I'm blest if it don't look to me like the truth is better, and actuly safer, than a lie"

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
