To answer this question, we need to refer to the reading of the story "Third Quarter". The question asks us to compare the feelings and attitudes of Josh and his father in the specific scene "I run into Dad's room."
From the given options, the statement that best compares Josh's feelings and his father's is:
"Josh wants his father to take care of himself, but his father treats his heart problems lightly."
To arrive at this answer, we need to refer to the part of the story where Josh expresses concern about his father's health, urging him to take care of himself. On the other hand, his father seems to brush off his heart problems and does not take them seriously.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
"Josh wants his father to take care of himself, but his father treats his heart problems lightly."
