Answer:
B) He understands that the other men in town will never stand up to him.
Explanation:
Zora Neale Hurston's "Spunk" revolves around life in Eatonville, Florida where Spunk, the main protagonist of the story is involved in an affair with Lena Kanty, the wife of Joe Kanty. the story covers the incident where Spunk shot Joe and killed him.
Paragraphs 30-36 covers the scene where Joe was killed and what led to it. But more importantly, it also reveals how people perceive Spunk. They are all aware of the affair and would express disdain, but at the same time, they couldn't say anything in his face. Moreover, even after they know for sure that he had killed Joe, they could do nothing but talk about it. This shows how the other men in town don't seem to be brave enough to stand up to him.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is option B.
</u>
B because the reader already knows what is about to happen to the characters while the others run in chronological order
This builds tension rather than shock as it would if it were in chronological order
