If you wished to suggest something about a character’s personality without stating anything directly, which of these statements
would be best to use? A)”What would you like to know?” B)The tall man gazed at the train as it passed. C)”Please tell me a bit about yourself,” he said. D)”Are you sure you want to do that?” He asked with a sly, insinuating smile
You are not even sure what it means. What exactly is he half warning someone else about? And why is he being sly and insinuating when he makes a statement that hardly warrants any notice at all? You are revealing something about the speaker, at least, that perks up our ears, but we're not sure why.
