C
To determine the answer to this question, let's analyze the options provided:
A. would rather die than live with the bitterness he feels as a result of his lost pride.
B. is trying to gain membership in the society known as the foxes.
C. thinks his acts of bravery will win back his wife.
D. hopes to become war chief and punish the wife stealer, cut neck.
To find the correct answer, we should consider the plot and character development of "A Man Called Horse." Specifically, we need to focus on the behavior of Yellow Robe after his wife leaves him.
A. While it's possible that the bitterness from his lost pride could affect Yellow Robe, there is no explicit indication that he behaves recklessly in battle for this reason. This option seems less likely.
B. The membership of the foxes society does not seem relevant to Yellow Robe's behavior in battle after his wife leaves him. This option can be eliminated.
C. This option seems more probable since Yellow Robe might think that acts of bravery would impress his wife and convince her to return. It aligns with his desire to win her back, suggesting that his reckless behavior could be a display of bravery to regain her affection.
D. The desire to become a war chief and seek revenge on the wife-stealer seems less likely since it does not directly relate to his wife leaving him. This option can be discounted.
Based on our analysis, option C - "thinks his acts of bravery will win back his wife" - seems to be the best answer, as it aligns with the situation and motivations of Yellow Robe in "A Man Called Horse."
