Solution

"A character sketch is a description made for the purpose of guiding the writer on such assignments as introducing a particular character to the reader in such a way that both the writer and readers can have a quick overview of the character's attributes; including but not limited to physical appearance, idiosyncratic (individual) tendencies in different circumstances, state of mind as shaped by former experiences and how these will affect their future actions."
Option B: By directly stating the psychological or emotional state of the character, we make it sound dull. We must use actions and instances to bring out how the character thinks or feels, or use imagery to display the same. Hence, doing this makes the sketch less impactful.
So, option B is correct.
Option A: It doesn't make the sketch interesting. Directly expressing the states of the character makes it sound dull.
Option C: The reader would not feel engaged, because the writer does not develop the character.
Option D: As the writer does not develop the character, it wouldn't be plot-appropriate.
Hence option A, C and D are wrong.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
A character sketch which is used as a short story or a narrative on its own usually lacks _____________________.

A
a plot or significant action

B

C
incidents involving the character

D
a structure or organization

Solution

Option A:
A character sketch is 'a written description of a person's qualities'.
"Besides being an essay type that students write in composition classes, fiction authors can use character sketches in their pre-writing or drafting stages of short stories or novels as a means to develop the people who'll inhabit the world they're creating." But, character sketches are limited to the personality of that character and certain incidents that shape the character. They do not focus on the plot, but the character.
Hence, the character sketch lacks plot or significant action and option A is correct.
Option B: A character sketch is a detailed description of the character. Hence it cannot be lacking it, and option B is wrong.
Option C: A character sketch may involve incidents with regards to the character.
Option D: A character sketch that is used as a short story does require a structure, or an order under which the character builds. Without a structure, the narrative would be incomplete.
Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.
