Answer 1

Incomplete question. Attached below is the missing excerpt.

Answer:

A. They show how the statue brings out each townsperson's personality.

Explanation:

Indeed, we can observe throughout the excerpt that the underlined words appear to give the readers an insight into the personality or state of mind of each townsperson.

For example, referring to the statue, someone stated, "I'm glad there is someone in the world who is quite happy." The person who said this is revealed to be a disappointed man. Hence, using the word "disappointed", brings out his personality.
