Why does mrs. coates offer to shoot old yeller for travis? a. she thinks it will be too difficult for her son to handle. b. she fears travis is too weak from being sick and cannot hold the heavy gun. c. she does not want her son to shoot any more animals. d. she thinks travis is a bad shot.

A. She thinks it'll be too difficult for her son to handle.

The answer would be "A". The reason is because shooting old yellower would be difficult for her son. Why? It was his dog and he wouldn't want to hurt it even though he has rabies. His mother wants to help him. Of course shooting him will be painful for her, too.

As I said it would be the first one. Hope this helps you! ^-^
