Answer 1

The provided excerpts do not correspond to events from 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and thus it is not possible to answer the question about Scout and Atticus accurately.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to reference the character Scout from Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird', however, the provided excerpts do not directly relate to the specific actions of Scout, nor to Atticus' reactions from that novel. Therefore, without context from 'To Kill a Mockingbird', it is not possible to accurately answer the question regarding Scout's actions and Atticus’ reaction. The excerpts provided seem to be from different texts and do not appear to correlate with the characters or events from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Due to this, I cannot provide an accurate answer to the student's question based on the information supplied.
