Hi there,
the answer to this would be B serious.
I think this is because the way they describe the Black Snake it look like its serious all the time. If you look back at your poem you will see context clues about the story and the characteristics of the Black Snake.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
The answer is A. his embarrassment about the cause of his beloved father's death.
The story revolves around Jerome's father dying because he was crushed by a pig that fell from a balcony. Jerome used to idolize his father, perhaps partially because he also lost his mother when he was very young and his father was the only parent he had. As he grew older, he realized people's reactions to this event was laughter. He became embarrased, and this caused him angst.
