This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is as follows:

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.

Answer:

D. the expressions he uses heighten the suspense that is building as the townspeople file in to exact their revenge on Huck and the others.

Explanation:

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Huck is describing in a suspenseful manner how the townspeople have come into the theater to get their revenge. For two nights in a row, Huck and the duke have deceived people with a very short performance that cost a lot of money. Feeling they have been ripped off, people come back a third night for revenge. Huck describes their bulging pockets and the awful smells, which heightens the suspense. Readers grow anxious, bracing themselves for the crowd's attack of rotten eggs and cabbage.
