Explanation:

At the start of Chapter 4 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Cassie is distracted and upset because she and her family were alarmed by night riders (men coming in the night) who targeted Black families in the area, including threatening the Berry family. This traumatic event disturbs her, making her act unlike herself. The other options do not align with the text's context here.
