Excerpt from No Fear
Tracy Wilson
Austin reached into his backpack to make sure that it was there. He wasn't sure
he needed his inhaler, but he was checking just in case. His chest was tight as he
once again attempted a deep breath. He completely filled his lungs and exhaled
smoothly. He repeated this rhythm several times, surprised at the ease at which it
came. But he'd keep the inhaler in his pocket. It had been a long time since he'd
had a real asthma attack, since Little League, in fact. But it was never too far from
his mind, especially when he played baseball.
From the fact that Austin's checks his breath in paragraph 1, we can conclude
that he is
A)determined.
B) distracted.
C)lighthearted.
D)worried.
