Question 9 • English Language Arts 12

Which sentence contains an example of character development?

Answer
A
As his boat drifted lazily across the bay, he watched the sunrise paint the water with pink clouds.
B
She noticed a perfectly round circle in the grass that had not been there the day before.
C
When he was nervous, he spoke so quickly that it was difficult to understand the words.
D
The music drifting from her neighbor's window transported her back to her grandmother's kitchen.

Explanation

Choice C develops the reader’s understanding of the character by showing how he behaves when nervous: he speaks so quickly that his words are hard to understand. The other sentences focus on scenery, a strange observation, or a memory rather than revealing the character through his behavior.
