Answer 2

The character sketch of Carter Watson is given below.

Explanation:

• Jack London’s short story, “The Benefits of Doubt,” recounts the story of a man, Carter Watson, who finds himself in a lawsuit.
• Watson’s attorney, a man named Darrow, is trying to prove that Watson, a harvester, is the rightful owner of a field of wheat.
• This would mean that he would be able to keep all of the profits from the sale of the wheat, instead of having to share it with the man who actually worked the land, his neighbour, Tom Outlaw.
