Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted. 

Here is the excerpt from the novel: 

"Even if Johnny did live he'd be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).

Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the word resign?
kiruha [24]

I believe the answer is: A. "I am sorry," he said, and patted me on the shoulder with his good hand. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me."

The word resign indicates accepting some sort of feeling or situation that cannot be ignored or pushed aside. From the sentences in option A, we can infer that the reader already accept the fact that his wife has died and acknowledge that his emotion is influenced by it.
