Question

Read the summary. [John argued with his younger brother. He reminded him that their father would be home soon, and that their mother was only a few feet away in the kitchen talking with her friend. Roy explained that he would only be gone for five minutes. Without giving John an option, Roy quickly went down and joined his friends. John refocused his attention on his schoolwork.] In “The Rockpile” by James Baldwin, which word most accurately describes Roy?

Answer 1

The correct answer is impulsive.

Answer 2

The correct answer is impulsive. Roy seems almost as if he might have ADHD, and we can infer from the text that he has trouble saying no, even when he knows he shouldn't do something. Hope this helps.
