This question is from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Explanation:

Tom finds a new boy, Alfred who is well dressed and looks arrogant. He picks up a quarrel with him saying if he could lick him up. In the beginning it might seem humorous but it eventually leads to a fight between the boys.Tom win's the fight and Alfred walks home crying. Once when Tom's back is turned, Alfred throws stone on Tom. Tom chases the Alfred and waits outside his house. The fight is to be considered something serious because there was no point except showing once dominance over the other.

Ithink the answer is c. detached.
