Who is the main character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

  1. George Washington

  2. Tom Sawyer

  3. Huck Finn

  4. Benjamin Franklin

The correct answer is: Huck Finn

The main character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Huck Finn. While some may think that Tom Sawyer, who is Huck's best friend, is the main character since he is also featured in the story, the novel is primarily focused on Huck's journey and growth. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin are both historical figures and have no relation to the story, making them incorrect options.
