Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you give chapter 27 a quick skim, Atticus mentions that Bob holds a grudge against him because his original assumption was that the community would believe his story and see him as a hero, but after Atticus disproves this, his description (to the public eye) isn't changed.
