Question 2 • English Language Arts 12

Which sentence contains an example of character development?

Answer

When she tried to enter the house for the first time, the door stuck, as though warning her not to enter.

The scent of warm bread wafted by, transporting her mind to that summer in her grandmother's kitchen.

She clutched her bag tight to her chest like a teddy bear, taking slow deep breaths to try to calm her racing heart.

As the crowded train clacked along, she studied the rainbow-colored map that covered most of the wall.

Explanation

Character development reveals a character’s feelings, thoughts, or behavior. In choice C, clutching her bag and taking deep breaths show that she feels anxious and is trying to calm herself. The other sentences mainly describe the setting, a memory, or an obstacle rather than showing how the character responds emotionally.
