Answer:
The correct answer is C: August does not answer his mother, which shows that he is angry and scared; his mother's voice sounds a little higher than normal, which shows that she is worried.
Explanation:
The other kids had started out the door, so I followed them.
"See you soon," said Mom, her voice sounding a little higher than normal. I didn't answer her.
In this excerpt, August doesn't want to answer to his mother, because he doesn't want her to know how he feels - he is angry and scared. On the other hand, by the tone of his mother's voice, we can conclude she is worried about her son.
