Read the following sentences from "No Dogs Bark" in which the main character is speaking to his son, Ignacio. "I'm not doing all this for you. I'm doing it for your dead mother. Because you were her son. That's why I'm doing it. She would've haunted me if I'd left you lying where I found you and hadn't picked you up and carried you to be cured as I'm doing. She's the one who gives me courage, not you. From the first you've caused me nothing but trouble, humiliation, and shame."

Answer:

4. resentful

Step-by-step explanation:

This behaviour is resentful as the father complains to his son for his responsibilities on him due to the son. And also that the father was only doing that in care for his mother who had died. He further added that the son had been trouble from the very first day.

The father still carries on with the hope of his wife's encouragement and clings to the promises made with her. The father complains to the son of his limitations and obligations.
