Question

Read the passage and then answer the question that follows.

I made straight for the ship, roused up the men to get aboard and cast off at the stern. They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea. The men in the passage are which type of character?

major

antagonist

round

minor

Answer 1

seems like antagonist maybe

Answer 2

I would say that the men in the passage are minor characters. The correct answer is the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Minor characters in a story are the ones that do stuff that contributes to the plot, but are not the main characters, the plot doesn't resolve around them or their story. In this case, the men in the ship "scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea" and that description helps the writer tells the story, or a part of it, but it is not the main event.
