He did not hesitate to pester the sleeping mother when he wanted money.

shake
wake
trouble
disturb

The correct answer is: C. trouble

The word “trouble” means to cause someone to worry or

be upset. In this case, the boy is causing his mother to worry by waking her up when she is sleeping.

The other options are:

  • A. shake – to move something up and down quickly and violently.
  • B. wake – to stop someone from sleeping.
  • D. disturb – to make someone feel uncomfortable or annoyed.

These options are not correct because they do not accurately describe what the boy is doing to his mother. The boy is not shaking her, waking her up, or disturbing her. He is troubling her by waking her up when she is sleeping.
