Question

One of the next actions that he exhibits is in the following passage: “I snatched up book and parchment, and was about to cast them into the fire, when the door opened and my uncle entered.” When the author writes this, what sort of characteristic might we attribute to Harry? impulsive methodical thoughtful considerate

Answer 1

impulsive to throw the papers in the fire but perhaps any of the three others depending on the relationship of the papers and harry's Uncle.

Maybe If i read the entire passage I would be able to better identify the context.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. impulsive.
Based on the excerpt, Harry takes action without forethought. If he had thought about his actions, he may have considered that someone could walk in, or he may have heard someone approaching at the door; however, he does not think about what may happen, he simply snatches up the book and parchment on impulse with the intent to throw them into the fire, and he hadn't noticed his uncle was near until he opened the door.

Hope this helps! :)
