excerpt from the adventures of huckleberry finn
by mark twain
chapter 22
well, that night we had our show, but there warnt only about twelve people there—just enough to pay expenses. and they laughed all the time, and that made the duke mad; and everybody left, anyway, before the show was over, but one boy which was asleep. so the duke said these arkansaw lunkheads couldnt come up to shakespeare; what they wanted was low comedy—and maybe something rather worse than low comedy, he reckoned. he said he could size their style. so next morning he got some big sheets of wrapping paper and some black paint, and drawed off some handbills, and stuck them up all over the village. the bills said:
at the court house!
for 1 nights only!
the world-renowned tragedians
david garrick the younger!
and edmund kean the elder!
of the london and continental theatres,
in their thrilling tragedy of
the kings cameleopard,
...
which quote from chapter 23 of the adventures of huckleberry finn contains sarcasm?
\but we dont want to be the laughing stock of this whole town, i reckon, and never hear the last of this thing as long as we live.\
\walk fast now till you get away from the houses, and then shin for the raft like the dickens was after you!\
\they can turn it into a picnic if they want to—they brought plenty provisions.\
\but huck, dese kings o ourn is reglar\

Explanation:

Sarcasm is a mocking, ironic statement meant to convey the opposite of its literal meaning. The duke and king are fraudulent performers who are hated by the town, yet the quote claims "these kings o' ours is popular"—this directly contradicts the actual negative reception, making it sarcastic. The other quotes are straightforward statements of fear, instruction, or observation without ironic mockery.

Answer:

"But, Huck, these kings o' ours is popular."
