Read the excerpt below and answer the question. The third night the house was crammed again—and they warn't new-comers this time, but people that was at the show the other two nights. I stood by the duke at the door, and I see that every man that went in had his pockets bulging, or something muffled up under his coat—and I see it warn't no perfumery, neither, not by a long sight. I smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten cabbages, and such things; and if I know the signs of a dead cat being around, and I bet I do, there was sixty-four of them went in. What can be inferred from the behavior of the audience on the third night of the duke and king's production?

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What can be inferred from the behavior of the audience on the third night of the duke and king's production?

A. Rural people are very difficult to please.

B. Rural people are not very fond of theatre.

C. Rural people are generally lacking in taste.

D. Rural people are not as foolish as they may seem.

What can be inferred from the audience's behavior is:

D. Rural people are not as foolish as they may seem.

Explanation:

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Huck is describing how the townspeople have come into the theater to get their revenge. They have been fooled for two nights into paying a lot of money for a very short performance. Now, they have come prepared, which is why Huck can sense awful smells and notice bulging pockets. The audience has brought in rotten food to throw at Huck and the duke. This behavior shows they are not going to be continually fooled. They are smart people who can tell when they are being ripped off and who know very well how to avenge themselves.
