Read the excerpt from heart of a samurai.

manjiro didn’t care if the rice were poisoned. he gobbled it up gratefully. and the soft, steaming sweet potato. and the warm broth. and the half cup of cool, fresh water. and, finally, a strange kind of food was placed in his hands.

which heroic quality does manjiro show in the excerpt?

he examines the food carefully before he starts eating the meal.
he keeps a watchful eye on the barbarians during the meal.
he puts aside his fear and shows gratitude for the meal.
he does not allow himself to relax and enjoy the meal.
