What does Mr. Avery Gatson say when the dealer hits Rosaleen and Lily screams?
Correct Answer:
Hush!
Explanation:
In a moment of sudden danger, the speaker uses a sharp, controlling command to calm the scene and assert power. The line “Hush!” is the best fit because it’s brief, urgent, and designed to stop noise immediately without inviting further action or explanation. It mirrors a domineering attitude—someone who wants silence right away to maintain control as violence occurs. The other options would come off as milder or as calls for help or intervention, which doesn’t match the tense, silencing impulse of the moment. So, the exact one-word exclamation best conveys the immediate need to quiet Lily’s scream and assert control in the face of aggression.
