Select the correct answer.
based on this excerpt from "how much land does a man need? " by leo tolstoy, how is the author using the character of the devil?
"of course our work is rough and coarse. but, on the other hand, it is sure; and we need not bow to any one. but you, in your towns, are surrounded by temptations; to-day all may be right, but to-morrow the evil one may tempt your husband with cards, wine, or women, and all will go to ruin. don't such things happen often enough? "
pahom, the master of the house, was lying on the top of the oven, and he listened to the women's chatter.
"it is perfectly true," thought he. "busy as we are from childhood tilling mother earth, we peasants have no time to let any nonsense settle in our heads. our only trouble is that we haven't land enough. if i had plenty of land, i shouldn't fear the devil himself! "
the women finished their tea, chatted a while about dress, and then cleared away the tea-things and lay down to sleep.
but the devil had been sitting behind the oven, and had heard all that was said. he was that the peasant's wife had led her husband into boasting, and that he had said that if he had plenty of land he would not fear the devil himself.
"all right," thought the devil. "we will have a tussle. i'll give you land enough; and by means of that land i will get you into my power."
as a foil
as an antagonist
as a dynamic character

The correct answer would be option B: "as an antagonist". The devil in this excerpt, is a character that could be defined as bad or evil, he wants to cause harm, therefore he could be the antagonist of the excerpt, meaning he is in opposition to the main character which would be the peasant. The peasant is not shown as a good character therefore the devil is not a foil (in literature a foil is a character that has qualities that are in contrast and highlight another character's qualities), so option A is incorrect. A dynamic character can be defined as a character that grows throughout the story, and his qualities are mentioned as they evolve in an implied form. This does not take place in the excerpt therefore, option C is also incorrect.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
