Answer:
The statement which most accurately describes Lemon Brown's and Greg's actions in the excerpt is:
D. Lemon Brown's courage inspires Greg to also stand up to the neighborhood thugs.
Explanation:
Greg and Lemon Brown are characters in the story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown", by Walter Dean Myers. Greg is just a boy who is having trouble with his father. They argue because of Greg's grades, so Greg heads to an abandoned warehouse for a pickup game. That is where he meets Lemon Brown.
<u>As some thugs walk in, Lemon Brown and Greg have very different reactions. Greg panics, but Brown chooses to face the thugs and protect his treasure. Seeing so much courage, Greg feels inspired. He then howls to distract the thugs, which gives Brown the chance to attack them. Having that in mind, we can choose letter D as the correct answer:</u>
D. Lemon Brown's courage inspires Greg to also stand up to the neighborhood thugs.
