Where does the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" take place?

  1. Georgia

  2. Missouri

  3. Mississippi

  4. Louisiana

The correct answer is: Mississippi

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a novel that takes place along the Mississippi River in Missouri, which makes Missouri the correct answer. Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi may be distractors due to their location in the southern United States and their proximity to the Mississippi River. However, these states do not capture the specific location and setting of the novel. Furthermore, the novel primarily takes place in the southern region of Missouri, so B is a more accurate location than A, D, or C.
