The correct response is: doesn’t believe Big Mac’s stories.
Dre's laughter and dismissal of the breathworm as a "silly story" indicate that he doesn't take Big Mac's tales seriously.
“WELL, THERE IS ONE MORE KEY. A SECOND CHANCE. BUT IT’S FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN A FEW FLOATING BOOKS.” “Dangerous?” Dre looks sick. “How dangerous?” “BREATHWORM DANGEROUS.” “The heck is a breathworm?” asks Dre. I cross my arms. “You don’t care about space stuff anymore, remember?” That’s what he said when I got back from space camp and he stopped hanging out with me. Grandad too. Suddenly his life was all about basketball. He was too cool for us. We have spoken more today than we have in the past year. “What does space got to do with a breathworm?” “That’s where they live,” I say. “Big Mac told me about them last summer.” Dre starts laughing. “Oh, so it’s just one of Grandad’s space monsters from those silly stories? Man, let’s do this.” The key droid takes us back out into the great room to a metal door set off by itself. A bright red sign hangs on the door: GARBAGE DISPOSAL AREA Danger! Beware of Beast! “THIS WILL BE AS FAR AS I GO,” says the key droid. “I’M QUITE PARTIAL TO NOT GETTING EATEN. LAST CHANCE TO TURN BACK. NO ONE WILL THINK LESS OF YOU.” Dre crosses his arms. “Just tell us the rules.” “MAKE IT BACK WITH THE KEY IN ONE PIECE. NO TIME LIMIT.” “Easy.” Dre yanks open the door and starts down the stairs. Question 5 5. Consider this line: “Dre starts laughing. ‘Oh, so it’s just one of Grandad’s space monsters from those silly stories? Man, let’s do this.’” This line tells you that Dre __________.
