Read the excerpt from 'The Prairie Whistle': 'Tim sat on the porch step, carving a piece of softwood with his pocketknife. "He's not going to get here any faster just because you keep staring at the grass, Clara," he muttered, though he kept peeking up from his carving toward the bend in the road.' What does Tim's behavior reveal about his character?

He is completely uninterested in his grandfather's arrival. He pretends to be casual and calm, but he is actually anxious to see his grandfather too. He is angry at Clara for waiting on the porch. He wants to finish his wood carving before anyone arrives.

Correct Answer:

He pretends to be casual and calm, but he is actually anxious to see his grandfather too.
