Step-by-step explanation:
The option selected above shows the real reason for men not to question Spunk, which was the violent way he responded when he was upset. The men were afraid to provoke his ire because of the violence he adopted when he was stressed. In this case, we can see that men have no respect for him, but follow what he says as a form of self-preservation and care.
