Question

During the trial, Tom says he feels sorry for Mayella. The reaction from the crowd is _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "outrage over his presumption"

Answer 2

Answer:

outrage over his presumption

Explanation:

Tom is a compassionate man, but the crowd doesn't seem to believe him at all. Mostly because of his color. You might consider that it was a mistake that Tom was capable of feeling sorry for a white woman while the whites "should be the superior race". They were really bothered by what he said and felt like he crossed a line.
