Question

read the excerpt from warriors dont cry.
as hard as i tried not to care, i couldnt start my morning without knowing what the governor, his national guard, and the school board were up to. i had to face the awful truth: grandma was right, i was letting those people determine how i felt, and how i lived a great part of my day.
what best describes the narrator’s mood?
○ inspired
○ mournful
○ bothered
○ sympathetic

Explanation:

To determine the narrator’s mood, analyze the excerpt: The narrator admits they can’t start the morning without knowing about the governor, National Guard, and school board, and realizes they’re letting these people affect their feelings and daily life. "Inspired" is incorrect as there’s no motivation or inspiration here. "Mournful" is wrong since there’s no grief. "Sympathetic" is incorrect as the narrator is focused on their own feelings, not feeling sorry for others. "Bothered" fits because the narrator is troubled by how these external factors impact their emotions and daily routine.

Answer:

C. bothered
