Explanation:

Question 5

To determine the meaning of "emaciated", we analyze the options. "Abnormal" refers to something unusual, "barren" means empty or infertile, "dejected" is about feeling sad, and "scrawny" means very thin (often due to lack of food or illness). "Emaciated" is related to being extremely thin, so "scrawny" is the best match.

We need a quotation showing the author's reluctance to embrace the Karankawas’ society. Option J ("Hunger forced us to obey, but disclaiming any responsibility for our failure or success") shows that the author obeyed only because of hunger and didn't take responsibility, indicating reluctance. Other options don't show reluctance (F is about grief, G about embarking again, H about being forced to help).

We need two words for the author's response to the Karankawa's generosity. "Grateful" makes sense as they received help. Another likely word (though only one is circled here, but from context) – but among the options, "grateful" is correct as generosity would elicit gratitude. Other options: "labored" (unrelated), "soothing" (describes something else), "condescending" (negative, not response to generosity), "harrowing" (distressing, not response to generosity).

Answer:

D. scrawny
