Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.Cautiously, I climbed from the bed, careful not to awaken Big Ma, who was still snoring soundly, and crept to the door. I pressed my ear against the door and listened, then slipped the latch furiously and darted outside. "Boy, what you doing here?" I hissed.

The words “cautiously,” “furiously,” and “darted” show that the speaker is tense and reacting urgently. The question “Boy, what you doing here?” is hissed, suggesting anger and alarm rather than pride, sadness, or helplessness. So the best choice is “alarmed and angry.”
