Pretty Calf says exactly why.
To verify the correct answer, let's analyze each option:
A. would rather die than live with the bitterness he feels as a result of his lost pride
This option suggests that Yellow Robe behaves recklessly in battle because he would rather die than live with the bitterness resulting from his lost pride. However, there is no mention or indication in the given information about Yellow Robe's lost pride being the reason behind his reckless behavior.
B. is trying to gain membership in the society known as the foxes
This option suggests that Yellow Robe behaves recklessly in battle because he is trying to gain membership in the society known as the foxes. However, there is no mention or reference to Yellow Robe's desire to join the foxes or any connection between his reckless behavior and such a society.
C. thinks his acts of bravery will win back his wife
This option suggests that Yellow Robe behaves recklessly in battle because he believes his acts of bravery will win back his wife. This answer aligns with the information given in the question - Yellow Robe's wife leaves him, and he engages in reckless acts in an attempt to win her back.
D. hopes to become the war chief and punish the wife stealer, cut neck
This option suggests that Yellow Robe behaves recklessly in battle because he hopes to become the war chief and punish the wife stealer. While this answer might have some relevance, as Yellow Robe might seek revenge, the question specifically refers to his motivation after his wife leaves him. Therefore, this option does not directly address his behavior post-separation.
Based on the information provided, option C, "thinks his acts of bravery will win back his wife," seems to be the most accurate choice.
