my dad’s head started slowly shaking side to side before i could finish, and i knew he would object. he is a stickler for regulations.
\son, i checked the website, and i am not impressed with the go - carts’ safety ratings.\
\but, dad! there are helmets, and speed limits, and supervision, and …\
the head shake started again, and my eyes rolled to the ceiling. i bowed my head, took a deep breath, and gritted my teeth.
what does the writer’s voice reveal?
enthusiasm
concentration
embarrassment
frustration

Explanation:

The writer tries to convince dad to let them go (mentions friends, safety info, young kids driving solo) and reacts with eye - rolling, deep breath, gritted teeth when dad objects. This shows a strong desire to persuade, which is frustration at not being able to get dad's approval. Enthusiasm is more positive, concentration is about focus, and embarrassment is about shame—none fit as well as frustration.

Answer:

frustration
