Final answer:
The excerpts provided do not correspond to 'Freak The Mighty' or the character Max. However, characters in literature may not scream when confronting shocking situations due to being paralyzed with fear or due to the shock of recognition.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage does not directly come from 'Freak The Mighty,' and thus the provided answer options seem to be irrelevant to the text in question. Max's reaction, based on the excerpts, does not fit into the scenario described in 'Freak The Mighty' since the character reacting to the realization in these snippets is not clearly identified as Max. However, considering the nature of reactions in such situations depicted throughout various literary works, including 'Freak The Mighty,' often such a character might not scream due to a state of paralyzed with fear or sudden recognition leading to shock. Fear tends to immobilize individuals, preventing them from reacting even in ways they might expect, like screaming for help.
