The correct answer to this question is: D)He expects to win his chess match.
Answer:
Jem is dumbstruck with the accuracy of his father's shot. Miss Maudie tells the children that their father used to be known as "One-Shot Finch," the best dead-shot in the county. She says he doesn't shoot unless he has to, because he feels that when he holds a gun, God has given him an unfair advantage over living beings. Scout wants to tell everyone in school about the incident, but Jem tells her not to. Jem explains that he wouldn't care if Atticus "couldn't do a blessed thing," because Atticus is a gentleman.
Explanation:
After Atticus shoots and kills a rabid dog in one shot, both Jem and Scout are astonished at their father's marksmanship abilities and wonder why he never bragged about his talent. Miss Maudie explains to the children that Atticus is an extremely humble man with a civilized heart. Miss Maudie then tells Jem and Scout, "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents" (Lee, 102). Later that day, Scout mentions to Jem that she cannot wait to brag about her father's abilities at school, and Jem tells her to not say anything. Jem recognizes that his father is a gentleman and wishes to follow in his footsteps by behaving like a humble individual, which is why he encourages Scout to not brag about their father's talents. Personally, I would be able to control my pride and emotions by staying silent about my father's marksmanship abilities. Maycomb is a small town, and the word would rapidly spread about Atticus's expert marksmanship. <u>I feel that it is always better to hear about someone's talent and abilities from a secondhand source than listen to a person brag about their own talents.</u>

In direct quotations (when you state exactly what other person said), hyphens are not necessary to indicate a quote, as that is the sole function of the quotation marks. This rules out options A and D. In regards to options B and C, it really depends on where you're using this sentence. If you are using it as part of an essay, you should cite it appropriately depending on the citation style requested by your teacher. Additionally, one doesn't just quote someone for the sake of quoting someone. A quote should act as support for what you're trying to communicate. In that sense, you would need to analyze how this quote supports your text (but this would actually be done in another sentence.
That being said, the best answer is option C.
