"the man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. the light showed a pale, square-jawed face with keen eyes, and a little white scar near his right eyebrow. his scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly set." after reading the excerpt from "after twenty years," what can be inferred about the character being described in the passage? he's friendly and polite and well-dressed he is tough and rich he is timid and shy he is stand-offish and keeps to himself

"He is stand-offish and keeps to himself".

Explanation:

After reading the excerpt from "After Twenty Years", the character can be inferred as "stand-offish and keeps to himself". This can be portrayed by his behaviour and his actions like lighting the cigar, showing the paleness in his eyes, and the scar near his eyebrows. The diamond which is stuck in the scarfpin shows that he has a status and is also rich. He keeps to himself because he lights the cigar on his own without concerning about others.
