Question

I laughed out loud. Mark was still too shaken to laugh. He was sweating bullets, and he'd become about the same color as the faded gray wallpaper, which made me laugh even harder. I was so relieved.

Something had ____ Mark

bitten
noticed
understood
frightened

Answer 1

Answer: D. Frightened

Explanation: Mark was too shaken to laugh and apparently sweating a lot. Through context clues about the situation, Mark probably got frightened by something that the author thinks isn't frightening OR the author and Mark both got scared of something (since at the end the author mentions they're relieved) and now the author is laughing it off.

Answer 2

Frightened.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the story, Mike was sweating which could symbolize fear. If this is wrong I apologize.

Hope this helped!
