B) Mr. Raymond takes pity on Dill and his sympathy
C) Scout thinks Reverend Sykes looks worried
D) Atticus seems surprised when Jem assumes Tom will win

Answer 1

Not C.) it's D.) Atticus seems surprised when Jem assumes Tom will will

Answer 2

D) Atticus seems surprised when Jem assumes Tom will win.

Step-by-step explanation:

In section twenty-three of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus has a discussion with Jem and Scout (however Jem does the majority of the talking) about what took the jury such a long time to return with a decision in Tom Robinson's trial.

In all actuality in some other preliminary in which a dark man was blamed for assaulting a white lady, the jury would scarcely have thought by any means, as their personalities would have been made up before the preliminary at any point started. The fact that this one deliberated for several hours is actually a victory, despite the guilty verdict.
