Answer:
The statement which best describes the use of characterization in this excerpt is:
Anton is directly characterized as kind.
Explanation:
<em>Anton was kind enough to divide it for them. </em>
<u>In the line above, the narrator of the story is telling us that Anton is kind, and that is a perfect example of direct characterization.</u>
<u>Direct characterization happens when the author openly states a character's traits. The opposite would be indirect characterization, which happens when the author uses dialogues, actions, thoughts, and descriptions to tell us about the character. In this case, we have to infer the traits, since they are not explicitly told.</u>
Having that in mind, we can easily say that, in the passage, Anton is directly characterized as kind.
Xenophobia is the hatred or fear of strangers or unusual circumstances/objects. Let us take a look at the provided answers and see which provides the best comparison:
A. hydrophobia : sharks
Hydrophobia is the fear of water. Sharks aren't water, but they live in water. The comparison doesn't exist, so we can move on.
B. bibliophilia : books
Bibliophilia is the love of books, and while there is a bit of a comparison, it is more or less the opposite of the original comparison.
C. acrophobia : heights
Acrophobia is the fear of heights, so there is a definite comparison here with the original. This is most likely correct, but let us examine the last answer anyway.
D. philanthropy : charity
Philanthropy is the compulsion to give money or valuables away to others who may want/need them more than you. In this case, philanthropy and charity are synonyms, so there isn't a real clear comparison to be made.
So your final answer is:
xenophobia : foreigners :: acrophobia : heights
C is your correct answer choice.
Hope that helped =)
