Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Heck"
The meaning of "Heck" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
O que significa Heck out?
A:
On its own this does not make sense.
However I think it might be part of a sentence like:
"Get the heck out of my house".
It is used for emphasis, in a slightly angry way. To be even more aggressive/angry, you might say:
"Get the hell out of my house".
It's a way to express your anger in a sentence.
Other examples:
"Get off my food" -> "Get the heck off my food"
"What are you doing?" -> "What the heck are you doing?"
It can be quite aggressive so be careful about using it. If a child is misbehaving, a parent might shout at them "What the heck are you doing?".

Q:
O que significa Heck in a Haddock?
A:
Ok, then yes. It's just the author doing what authors are meant to do - she came up with a nice sounding combination of words that got a feeling across.
Heck is an old word for hell.
One might say:
What the hell!
What the dickens!
What the heck!
Etc.
You've also got such phrases as:
He's going to hell in a handbasket.
It's just a nice phrase because of the alliteration and the imagery.
So it seems the author of your book thought "heck in. haddock" got across the punch of "What the hell!" With the alliterative fun of “hell in a hand basket".
The phrase itself doesn't make any sense outside of all that any more than if I were to say, "if you're not quiet, I'll bake your snake" (which I made up just now).
I hope that helped.
Well, I know it helped. It's a good reply. :)
My pleasure.

Which example sounds more natural? And why?
A:
1 is more natural.
For 2, if it was "she'd been just 17" does not sound natural. The she'd means "she would" or "she had", which does not make sense in this context.
