question 7 (multiple choice worth 5 points)

Explanation:

The bystanders are praised, so a positive - connoted word is needed. "Heroic" implies brave and self - sacrificing actions, which fits the context of rushing into a burning building to save animals. "Bold" is less strong in the context of heroism. "Reckless" and "thoughtless" have negative connotations.

Answer:

D. heroic
