Answer 1

Answer:

D. He felt like a child again, overcome with the same fear of DCS that he had felt many years ago.​

Explanation:

In Michael Oher's "I Beat The Odds: From Homelessness to the Blind Side and Beyond", he recounts his life story from being a black kid in the neighborhood to someone famous with even an Academy Award-winning movie. The book deals with the life of Michael Oher and how his life changed for the best with the Touhy family.

In saying he suddenly "lost about three feet and two hundred pounds" on his visit to the Department of Children's Services in Memphis, Michael reveals he "became a scared little kid again." This visit brought back the fear he had for the DCS ever since he was a child.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
