Read the passage. i lazily flipped through the pages of my textbook and yawned. “too bad i can’t be more like my brother,” i thought. he is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist, and he’s always anxious to learn new things. it’s hard to believe that anyone can be that focused. but me? well, that’s a different story. i am much more likely to spend my time daydreaming. which words from the passage are a good example of direct characterization? a. i lazily flipped through the pages of my textbook b, too bad i can’t be more like my brother c, he is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist d. i am much more likely to spend my time daydreaming

The answer is because his characterization is shown through the passage C, He is very studious and a bit of a perfectionist

the answer is b just took the tested

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
