How does Amir feel after Baba's burial?

• A. He feels empowered to write more.
• B. He feels terribly alone because Baba can no longer define him or guide him.
• C. He feels relieved that Baba's burden is gone.
• D. He feels angry at Soraya.

Answer: (B)

Amir’s feeling after Baba’s burial centers on the absence of a guiding father figure and the sense of being unanchored. Baba’s presence had given him a clear moral frame and a standard by which he measured himself. With Baba gone, that frame dissolves, and Amir feels terribly alone, because there’s no one left to define him or steer him through his choices. The moment isn’t about empowerment or relief; it’s about the emptiness and responsibility of charting his life without his father’s influence. The anger toward Soraya isn’t connected to Baba’s death, so it doesn’t fit this moment.
