Which sentence is an example of characterization through action? A. He was strong and muscular, tanned a golden brown from years of spending time outside. B. His breathing was shallow, his eyes wide, and his heart beat loud enough to be heard across the room. C. His extreme height was intimidating, but his muted green eyes and open face softened the effect. D. His brown eyes were calm, and his crow-black hair fell easily over a face many considered handsome.
Answers
option c is the answer
These three options are not demonstrating what is asked in the query.
A. "He was ... time outside."
Reason: These specifications do not comprise any action. Soft details of the outlook are illustrated here.
C. "His extreme ... the effect."
Reason: Here again, the words "intimidating," and "muted" show the effect of the character on the narrator. Moreover, the specifications that are displayed like "height," "eyes," and "face" not representing any action.
D. "His brown ... considered handsome."
Reason: This portrayal is also flat and no specification of the character seems to be in action.
So, the answer would be the following option:
B. "His breathing ... across the room."
Explanation: This option highlights an extensive use of verb within itself. Verbs are suggestive of actions; and expressions such as "breathing," "eyes wide," and "heartbeat loud" represent the characters features through action performed by him which have a subsequent physical display.
