The correct answers are A) confident and C) fearless.

The adjectives that best describe Jurgis's attitude are confident and fearless.

These are the correct adjectives to describe Jurgis's attitude because he would only laugh when he herd those intimidating stories. He had only been there for four months, and he was young, so he was reckless. The excerpt also tells us that he was a big guy, a "giant" it is written. We conclude that there was too much health in him. All of this made Jurgis show a confident attitude.

Upton Sinclair was an American author and journalist who published the book "The Jungle" in 1906. In the book, he referred to the unhealthy and harsh conditions of workers who labored in the meatpacking industry of Chicago and other large cities in the United States.
