Read the following passage:

Journey thru the center of the earth

Had the proposition now been made to go back to the summit of Mount Sneffels, I should have declined the offer in a most indignant manner.

What do we learn about Harry through this passage?

He loves food.

He is a static character.

He is a dynamic character.

He has been bitten by the exploration bug.

The thing that we learn from the given passage is that Harry has probably been bitten by an exploration bug that is explicit through his 'journey thru the center of the earth'. Thus, option D displays the most appropriate inference about Harry. The other options suggest unsubstantiated claims. Option A is wrong as there is no description of food while options B and C are incorrect as there is no clarity about the character traits that would state the character as static or dynamic. This makes us conclude option D as the answer.

Answer:

C. He is a dynamic character

Explanation:

A dynamic character is a character that undergoes an important change in the course of the story. This change is usually the result of a conflict. In the passage, it says "Had the proposition now been made to go back to the summit of Mount Sneffels, I should have declined the offer.." This implies that Harry had previously accepted the offer in the past, but would have declined if it was offered now.

Obviously, the answer is not A. The passage does not say anything about food. A is incorrect.

The answer is not B either. A static character is the opposite of a dynamic character; a static character does not go through an important change and remains more or less the same as they were in the beginning of the story. Harry has changed in the story, so B is incorrect.

The answer is not D. The passage does not say anything about a bug. If this was a metaphor, Harry doesn't just suddenly feel like exploring-- he had changed as a character. D is incorrect.

Thus, Harry is a dynamic character.

I got a 100% on the quiz, so I know for a fact that this is correct!! :)
