ASAP!!!! Read the excerpt from Monster. We see STEVE stand shakily and head back to the defense table. He looks out onto the onlookers and sees his parents. His MOTHER forces a smile and his FATHER makes a fist and nods emphatically. We see STEVE sit down, start to pick up a glass of water, and have to put it down because his hand is shaking so badly. Which statement best describes Steve's parents? They think that Steve is innocent. They are willing to fight for their son. They think that the trial is a joke. They are trying to be strong for Steve

Answer: D) They are trying to be strong for Steve.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Monster" we can see the description of the reactions of Steven's parents when they see him shaking at the defense table. Despite their feelings of fear and sadness, his mother smiles and his father makes a fist and nods emphatically, this shows us that Steven's parents are trying to be strong for him. So the correct answer is the corresponding to option D.
