Read the passage from "Initiation."

Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had broken on her head as she knelt blindfolded at the sorority altar a short while before. There had been a silence, a slight crunching sound, and then she had felt the cold, slimy egg-white flattening and spreading on her head and sliding down her neck. She had heard someone smothering a laugh. It was all part of the ceremony.

The author characterizes Millicent by describing how she:

A. Thinks.

B. Is feeling physically.

C. Appears.

D. Is feeling emotionally.

Answer 1

B. Is feeling physically.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author characterizes Millicent by describing how she is feeling physically.

The passage provides details about the physical sensations Millicent is experiencing, such as the stiff and sticky hair from the egg that was broken on her head, the cold, slimy egg-white on her head and neck, and the slight crunching sound.

These details focus on her physical experiences during the ceremony, rather than her thoughts, appearance, or emotions.
