Final answer:
Option D is correct option. The excerpts provided are not related to Will or his dad, and the correct answer to the student's question cannot be identified without further context from the source material. The passages seem to involve themes of conflict and tension involving firearms.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided passages do not seem to be directly related to the question posed by the student, which is about a specific action taken by a character named Will's dad after a hug with Will. None of the excerpts mention Will or his father, or the situation that is described in the multiple-choice question.
Therefore, I am unable to determine the correct answer without knowing the specific source material that the question is referring to.
However, based on the general context of the passages provided, they all deal with tense and potentially violent situations involving guns or other weapons. Such scenarios are typically found in literature that explores themes of conflict, danger, or personal drama.
