“she hesitated, unsure of what to say” I chose hesitated because this shows the conflict of him between himself and what he thinks he can to do solve the problem,  these words shows about the problem in the story where the main character rushed into his mother’s room due to a conflict with his brother and found out that his father was in the room instead, his father is a person who is sometimes really annoyed when it comes to these small problems that should not be a big deal to come to parents to talk about, so the main character is in the situation where he can’t tell his father what happened nor back out the room like nothing happened so he hesitated on what he can do to solve this problem where both plans would fail.
