.respect

.disgust

.anger

.fear

The correct answer is respect.

Explanation:

In both titles we can perceive a sense of respect towards the authors' parents.

In the case of "The Courage That My Mother Had", the narrator talks about the courage her mother had, how she would have liked to inherit that from her. That is a great show of respect and admiration. Let's look at the following quote:

Oh, if instead she’d left to me

The thing she took into the grave! -

That courage like a rock, which she

You have no more need of, and I have.

While in "My father is a simple man", we can also see how the narrator admires his father and respects him for everything he has done for him and the way he is.

Let's look at the following quote:

I'd gladly give my life

for this man with a sixth

grade education, whose kindness

and patience are true ...

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
