Which excerpt from “the treasure of lemon brown” would provide strong evidence that greg tries to avoid his father at the beginning of the story? he had asked his father the week before, and his father had said it depended on his next report card. it wasn’t often the scorpions took on new players, especially fourteen-year-olds, and this was a chance of a lifetime for greg. “and you want to play basketball? ” his father’s brows knitted over deep brown eyes. “that must be some kind of a joke. now you just get into your room and hit those books.” his father’s words, like the distant thunder that now echoed through the streets of harlem, still rumbled softly in his ears . . he stood to go upstairs, thought of the lecture that probably awaited him if he did anything except shut himself in his room with his math book, and started walking down the street instead. he sat a while, watching the sign blink first green then red, allowing his mind to drift to the scorpions, then to his father. his father had been a postal worker for all greg’s life, and was proud of it . . greg had heard the story too many times to be interested now.

The answer is C.

His father’s words, like the distant thunder that now echoed through the streets of Harlem, still rumbled softly in his ears . . . He stood to go upstairs, thought of the lecture that probably awaited him if he did anything except shut himself in his room with his math book, and started walking down the street instead.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
