Answer 1

Answer:

D. The author develops Miss Brill's character by revealing her internal thoughts and reflections on the other people in the park.

Explanation:

The story "Miss Brill" tells of a young woman whose name is the title of the story. The author develops her character by noting her love for going to the park and sitting on her own, not interacting with anybody. She rather takes delight in listening to others when they talk as if she was a part of their lives. This attitude bacomes a regular routine on Sundays when people come to have a nice time of relaxation at the park.

This routine was enjoyed by her and felt all too normal, until one day when a couple noticed her and made disparaging comments about her attitude. This made her feel bad.
