Answer 1

Answer: The right answers are:

B) The characterization reveals Max’s nervousness.

D) Frustration.

C) The characterization reveals Maggie’s regret.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the three answers, it can be added that the first passage uses characterization to reveal Max's nervousness by describing that he "tapped his toe erratically" and told to himself that everything would be fine. In addition, he avoided talking to other students and chewed a gum "to absorb some of his energy." In the second passage, the writer's voice reveal frustation, since the son cannot get his father's approval to go to the place where he wants to go, and he is not allowed to finish his argument. As a result, he bows his head, breath deeply, and gritts his teeth in frustation. Finally, in the third passage, the characterization reveals that Maggie is regretful. She has said something to her sister and now she asks herself why she said that, bowing her head and shaking it side to side. When she arrives to her room she decides to send her an email and to apologize.
