Ms. Slade picked up coffee on her way to work one morning. She happened to see an old friend while she was at the coffee shop. T
hey talked for what seemed like only five minutes, but they actually talked for over 20 minutes. Ms. Slade gasped when she looked at her watch. As she walked in the door to her office, her manager asked her why she was late. Who is the minor character in the passage?
Ms. Slade’s friend
Ms. Slade's manager in the minor character in this passage. This is the case being that they only had so much to do with the paragraph, however, depending on another passage, it can be arguable that Ms. Slades friend is the minor character. I prefer you say the manager.
