  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    You must convey that a character is very clumsy. Which of the following is the best way to do this?
    Solution
    The best way, out of the given options, to convey the readers that a character is very clumsy is by revealing how the other characters perceive or see him/her. Therefore option D is the correct option.
    Option A is incorrect because simply stating that he/she is clumsy not enough for the readers to be convinced that the character is indeed clumsy. It lacks imagination. 
    Option B is incorrect because anyone can accidentally trip and with a single incident the readers can't consider it being characteristic of a clumsy person.
    Modifying the way the character speaks can in no way be connected him/her being clumsy. Hence option C is also incorrect. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    By which of the following ways can a character be revealed?
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    You want to convey to the reader that a character is depressed. Which of the following is the best way to do this?
    Solution
    The best way to describe a character in a story is to make the reader sympathize with him/her. The character's personal experiences, instances that have led him to become depressed, and bringing the other characters' viewpoints about his depression affect the way the reader perceives the character.
    Directly stating that the character is depressed does not really produce a desirable effect on the reader. Hence option A is incorrect.
    Option B: By using the voices of others, like the character's friends, the narrator can best portray that he/she is depressed. Hence option B is correct.
    Option C: The character's routine does not link up with his emotions. Depression is a state of extreme sadness, an emotion. His routine will tell the reader what he does every day. It does not tell the reader how he feels. Hence C is incorrect.
    Option D: Similarly, 'the character's lack of motivation at work' is in relation to his profession and not depression. Hence D is also incorrect.
