A. Sean Walker and Bear Otto
B. Billy Ansel and Risa Walker
C. Abbott Driscoll and Wendell Walker
D. Wanda and Hartley Otto

Answer 1

Option A. The two characters in The Sweet Hereafter who are flat characters are Sean Walker and Bear Otto.

Step-by-step explanation:

Written by Russel Banks in 1991, "The Sweet Hereafter" is a dramatic novel that tells the story of a fatal school bus accident and its aftermath through four first-person narrators. The characters of Sean Walker and Bear Otto can be considered to be flat as they are both kids that lose their lives in the accident, therefore their characters do not develop through the story line.

In literature, a flat character is two-dimensional in that he/she is not complicated and do not change throughout the story.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Sean Walker and Bear Otto

Being a flat character means that you're not as developed as the others and you don't develop throughout the story.
