Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What inference can be made about Mr. Dwerrihouse based on how he is introduced and his character is developed in the text? Support your answer with details from the text.

I now recognized my companion. I recognized him from the moment when he removed his hat and uncovered the lofty, furrowed, and somewhat narrow brow beneath. I had met him, as I distinctly remembered, some three years before, at the very house for which, in all probability, he was now bound, like myself. His name was Dwerrihouse, he was a lawyer by profession, and, if I was not greatly mistaken, was first cousin to the wife of my host. I knew also that he was a man eminently well−to−do", both as regarded his professional and private means. The Jelfs entertained him with that sort of observant courtesy which falls to the lot of the rich relation, the children made much of him, and the old butler, albeit somewhat surly "to the general", treated him with deference. I thought, observing him by the vague mixture of lamplight and twilight, that Mrs. Jelf's cousin looked all the worse for the three years' wear and tear which had gone over his head since our last meeting. He was very pale, and had a restless light in his eye that I did not remember to have observed before. The anxious lines, too, about his mouth were deepened, and there was a cavernous, hollow look about his cheeks and temples which seemed to speak of sickness or sorrow. He had glanced at me as he came in, but without any gleam of recognition in his face. Now he glanced again, as I fancied, somewhat doubtfully. When he did so for the third or fourth time I ventured to address him.

Answer and Explanation:

Based on the text above, we can infer that Mr. Dwerrihouse is not in the prime of his health and is old, tired and nervous, anxious. This is noticeable through the statement about the appearance of Mr. Dwerrihouse that the narrator presents, where we can conclude that this is not the appearance of a healthy person and that he is completely calm.

The way Mr. Dwerrihouse looks at the narrator, also allows us to approach that he will not have a friendly character, but distant, cold and often withdrawn.

Which would create a fast pace?
elena55 [62]
D, short sentences. short sentences are often used to speed up the pace of prose because you read short sentences quickly. when you're in a panicked situation, you usually think in brief thoughts that overlap and cause a sense of chaos in your mind; short sentences in prose have a similar effect.
