Answer

4. **c. Pork chop** This refers to the anecdote in the book where young Shane mispronounces "karate chop" as "pork chop," leading to his nickname.<br /><br />5. **d. From resentful to regretful.** At the start of the anecdote, Shane is clearly resentful of the "Yogi Bear Tormentor" and his bullying. He actively seeks revenge. However, after seeing the tormentor's genuine distress and humiliation at failing, Shane feels regret for his actions.<br />
