Explanation:

Question 1

In Chapter 2 of "Freak the Mighty", the main characters featured are Max, Grim, and Gram. Max is the protagonist, and Grim and Gram are his grandparents with whom he lives. Option A is incorrect as Kevin (Freak) is introduced more prominently later, and in Chapter 2, the focus is on Max's home life with his grandparents. Option B is wrong as teachers are not a focus here. Option D is incorrect as Kevin is not a main focus in this chapter's home - life - centered events.

Grim treats Max with fear and strict control. Grim is concerned about Max's appearance and behavior, and his actions towards Max show a sense of unease and a desire to control Max's actions (e.g., worrying about Max's size and potential for trouble). Option A is wrong as Grim does not show complete trust. Option C is incorrect as there is no humor and kindness in his treatment. Option D is wrong as Grim is not indifferent; he is very concerned about Max.

Gram tries to calm conflicts in the household. Gram is more nurturing and tries to smooth over the tensions between Grim and Max. Option A is wrong as Grim is more likely to be part of the conflict or to be strict. Option B is incorrect as Max is the one around whom the conflicts sometimes revolve, not the one calming them. Option C is wrong as Kevin is not in the household in this context to calm conflicts.

Answer:

C. Max, Grim, and Gram
