Answer 1

B. To show how the characters interact with one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Characterization is the way an author of a story represents a character to the readers. Throughout the story, we get to know various details about its characters. After the author introduces the character, we begin to discover more about its appearance, behavior, and thought-process. Interaction with other characters is the following step of characterization. Characterizing an isolated character would be a difficult task. Through interaction (dialogue), we can discover a lot about the character's personality. Its words and the reaction of other characters to it are an important aspect of characterization.
