Read these lines from the excerpt again: and such a luxury to him was this petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight intrude upon it; it was too sacred for such contact; and so, presently, when his cousin mary danced in, all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other. these lines from the excerpt explicitly or directly state a) tom wants mary to make his aunt feel bad for punishing him b) mary’s good mood will make tom even more gloomy and upset c) mary’s good mood will make tom’s aunt forget why she’s upset d) tom does not want mary’s mood to make him feel better

The answer is: D) Tom does not want Mary’s mood to make him feel better.

In the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," after Aunt Polly punishes Tom for breaking the bowl of sugar, which Sid had done, Tom feels miserable. Besides, he longs to make her feel guilty for punishing him. As a result, he wonders how upset she would be if he were dead and refuses to lift his spirits when Mary comes back and dances. Actually, he maintains a sense of anguish and looks for a desolate place to be on his own.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
