I know it's not B, because arrogance is basically like pride or self-absorption, so that's false.
Apprehension, or C, is also false. The meaning of apprehension is basically anxiety or tension, so that is also false.
D is also not correct because donor is someone who gives something away to another person. Though donor is usually associated with giving away organs to help other people, it can be other things.
But a recipient is someone who receives something, such as a "Best Student" award!
A is the correct answer! :)
Doodle was pushing himself too hard trying to catch up to his brother in the rain. So when he sat down next to a tree because he couldn't run anymore.
He died leaning against that tree, all flimsy and small like that red bird that fell out of that tree before, which was foreshadowing his death.
Good Luck! :)
