Question

read this excerpt from the way to rainy mountain.
in time of battle he must by means of this arrow impale the end of his sash to the earth and stand his ground to the death
which emotional feeling is evoked by the word impale in this context?
○ fright
○ fondness
○ rage
○ courage

Explanation:

The word impale in this context shows a strong, determined action. The person is using the arrow to firmly attach the sash to the earth and stand their ground to the death. This kind of resolute and unwavering action is associated with courage. Fright would imply fear and hesitation, which is not the case here. Fondness is an affectionate feeling, which is not relevant to the battle - related action. Rage is more about anger, but the text emphasizes standing ground and a purposeful action rather than just anger.

Answer:

courage
