Question

what does dills emotional reaction to mr. gilmers cross - examination show? he is desensitized he is unable to accept injustice he is indifferent he is confused

Explanation:

Dill's emotional reaction to Mr. Gilmer's cross - examination shows his sensitivity to injustice. In the context of the story, Dill is a young character who has a more innocent and empathetic view of the world. When he witnesses the unfair and demeaning way Mr. Gilmer treats Tom Robinson (a Black man on trial), his emotional outburst is a sign that he cannot accept the injustice being perpetrated. Being desensitized would imply he is used to such injustice and shows no reaction, which is not the case. Indifference would mean he doesn't care, but Dill clearly cares. Confusion might be a part of it, but the main underlying emotion is his inability to accept the injustice shown through Mr. Gilmer's cross - examination.

Answer:

He is unable to accept injustice
