Read the excerpt from Monster. We see STEVE stand shakily and head back to the defense table. He looks out onto the onlookers and sees his parents. His MOTHER forces a smile and his FATHER makes a fist and nods emphatically. We see STEVE sit down, start to pick up a glass of water, and have to put it down because his hand is shaking so badly.

What can be determined from Steve's actions?
He loves his parents dearly.
He feels very worried.
He is not very thirsty.
He did not tell the truth.

He feels very worried.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from the drama novel "Monster" written by Walter Dean Myers. It tells the story of Steve Harmon, a teenager accused of murder. It is partially wriiten as a screenplay, where Steve writes in third person omniscient.
