Elizabeth turned slowly back into the room. Roy did not open his eyes, or move; but she knew that he was not sleeping; he wished to delay until the last possible moment any contact with his father. John put his newspaper and his notebook on the table and stood, leaning on the table, staring at her.

-They respect and admire him.

-They are worried about him.

-They do not care about him.

-They are frightened of him.

    In the story entitled "The Rockpile", Gabriel was a husband to Elizabeth and father to Delilah, Roy, and Paul. He had a bad temper and he took it to the beatings of the family members. Thus, in this story, Elizabeth's avoidance was due to her being frightened of him. The answer is therefore, the last choice.
