a. he misses his father even more than before.
b. he feels ready to face the next battle.

Explanation:

In the story (likely "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh"), Joby, after reflecting on his role and the situation, gains a sense of purpose and resolve. Option a is incorrect as the story's focus isn't on missing his father more. Option c is wrong because he doesn't feel overwhelmed but rather resolute. Option d is incorrect as he doesn't have an overconfident view of being the most important soldier. Option b fits as he feels ready to face the upcoming battle with his newfound understanding of his role.

Answer:

b. He feels ready to face the next battle.
