Question 1
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
The habits and hobbies of a character may tell you about _______________ .

A
their personality

B
their family background

C
their problems

D
their decision-making skills

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 A: 'Habits' and 'hobbies' tell you what the character likes to do and his daily way of living. This tells the reader about his personality.
The personality is 'a combination of characters and qualities that form an individual's distinctive character'. The 'habits and hobbies' do bring out the qualities of the character.
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: The 'habits and hobbies' portray personal qualities of the character. It does not express his family background.
Option C: There is no connection between 'their problems' and 'habits'.
Option D: Similarly, there is no connection between the character's likes 'habits and hobbies' and his ability to make a decision.
Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
You need not ______________ in order to create a character sketch.

A
know everything about the character

B
predict how the character would behave

C
assess how your character fits into the plot

D
All of the above

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."
It's not necessary to know all possible details about the character. Simple things that made the character more human to the reader are required.
Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: A character sketch is made partly so that the reader can predict how the character would behave.
Option C: One of the reasons behind a character sketch is to judge or gauge how the character fits into the plot.
These are required, and the character sketch cannot do without these.
Hence options B and C are wrong.
For this reason, option D is also wrong.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
A character sketch ______________________.

A
is only created of the main characters

B
may be written on any character

C
is only created of the protagonist

D
is only created of the antagonist

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: The character sketch may or may not be formed of the main characters. It can also be about a character who plays a minor but pivotal role, depending on the story itself. Hence there is no compulsion, and option B is correct.
Options A, C and D: The character sketch is not limited to only the main characters, protagonist or antagonist. It can be on a person who's not the main character but plays an important role at some point.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of the following could best help in writing a character sketch?

A
the way the character walks

B
the character's house address

C
the character's dreams

D
the character's favorite book

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 C: As mentioned above, a character can be portrayed best by describing how they think and feel 'state of mind as shaped by former experiences'. The writer describes the character so that the reader can understand it better. One of the ways the character can be portrayed is by describing their dreams, because it reflects their fears, hopes and aspirations.
Hence option C is correct.
Options A, B and D:
'The way the character walks', 'the character's house address' and 'the character's favourite book' do not describe the character in its best possible way. It does not help the reader understand the character. These are external likes and qualities.
Hence these options are wrong.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the best option to fill in the blank:
In a character sketch, the __________________ should fit with the character's personality in the rest of the story.

A
first impression of the character

B
last impression of the character

C
the actions of the character

D
None of the above

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 A: The first impression of a character always sticks with the reader. Hence it should fit with the character's personality in the rest of the story. For example, if the character is a grumpy, angry person at first, who suddenly becomes kind and caring at some point, the reader would get confused about that character. (Unless the plot involves a hidden personality of that character.) Hence option A is correct.
Option B: The last impression shouldn't fit the character's personality since it would confuse the reader. It is said that the first impression is the last impression (and not vice versa).
Option C: 'The actions of the character' will fit with the character's personality, unless there's a backstory given to it. There is no need for an obligation 'should' attached to it.
Hence options B and C are wrong.
Option D is wrong because there is a correct option 'A'.
Question 6
1 / -0

To make a character sketch more interesting, which of the following would be most effective?

A
Convey the character and personality of the character through words.

B
Convey all the possible traits and qualities you can think of.

C
Use direct words and active verbs to describe the character.

D
Convey the character's personality through actions rather than just words.

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 D: In order to make a character sketch more interesting, one must describe the character by the use of actions rather than words. For example, instead of saying that he likes football, the writer can add an experience that the character had, the first match he went to watch for his favourite sport: football.
Hence option D is correct.
Options A, B and C: These aren't ways to make a character sketch more interesting. They would make it sound dull instead.
Hence these options are wrong.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
You need ______________ in order to create a character sketch.

A
all the information about a character

B
a clear idea of the personality of the character

C
a detailed account of the history of the character

D
All of the above

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."
Options A and B:
A character sketch gives the reader an idea about the character's personality, rather than everything about it. The sketch is made for the reader to understand how the character thinks and feels. This expresses personality.
You don't need all the information about the character, as it wouldn't help the reader as much to understand the character.
Hence option A is wrong and B is right.
Option C: It is not necessary to know the detailed history of the character, what shapes a character is how he talks, thinks, feels and behaves.
Hence option C is wrong.
Option D is wrong as only one answer is right 'B'.
Question 8
1 / -0

A report should not include which of the following?
Select the best option.

A
the report's title

B
the character's opinion

C
the main events that took place

D
a definite structure

Solution

The correct answer is the one that should NOT be included in a report.
Option B: A report is the detailed description of what happened, or it is about someone.
When describing past events or traits of a person, the opinion does not get included. The purpose of the report is to convey news and not tell the reader what the character thinks. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: The report's title is essential to a report. Hence it shall be included in a report.
Option C: The report should include the main events that take place, because they form the crux of that report. They hold a purpose for that report.
Option D: A report contains a definite structure, with introduction, body and conclusion being the basic structure.
Hence options A, C and D are not the right answers.
Question 9
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
The information in a report is usually written in order of ____________ .

A
dates

B
place

C
detail

D
importance

Solution

Information is usually arranged in order of importance, with the most importance information coming first. Hence option D is correct.
Options A, B and C: Report writing does not consider the order of dates, place or detail.
Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the best option:
Which of the following should not be included in a report?

A
name of people affected by the event

B
date of the event

C
place of the event

D
time of the event

Solution

The correct option is the one that should not be included in a report.
The date, place and time are all included in a report. Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
This leaves option A. It states that the name of people affected by the event should be included. But, the option is a bit vague. There must be several people, or hardly a couple. The names are not the focus of the report, but the event. Hence the factor relevant to the event - date, place, time are to be included, and not the names of people.
So, option A is the correct option.
