D)Aunt Alexandra’s opinion when they return home for dinner
Explanation:
Scout resents her aunt's presence at Tom Robinson trial. Aunt Alexandra comes with Atticus to stay and she acts in a bad way with Scout. She called Walter Cunningham jr. "trash" and she denied him the possibility to visit the Finch home.
The answer that fits the blank provided above is BROTHER. This question is based on Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird". So when Atticus returns home for the first time after the trial, Aunt Alexandra empathized for him and called him Brother. Hope this helps.
