Question

James's role as a detached observer in Daisy Miller: A Study is embodied by _____. Select all that apply.

the use of the word "study" in the title
the ambiguous portrait of Daisy
the focus on the role of gossip in the novel
the choice of a female protagonist

Answer 1

A & B are the correct answers. Have a good day.

Answer 2

The correct answers are A and B.

James' role as a detached observer in Daisy Miller is best embodied by the use of the word "study" in the title AND the ambiguous portrait of Daisy.

These both indicate that James did not take a "side" when portraying Daisy. He did not portray her as wholly innocent, nor did he portray her as entirely guilty. Instead, he offered an unbiased study of her character and lets the reader decide.
