Question

Which detail reveals a character's motivation?

(3) "Oh no, they're stuffed and preserved, dozens and dozens of them," said the ornithologist, "and I have
shot or snared every one myself. I caught a glimpse of a white heron a few miles from here on Saturday,
and I have followed it in this direction. They have never been found in this district at all. The little white
heron, it is," and he turned again to look at Sylvia with the hope of discovering that the rare bird was one of
her acquaintances.
(4) But Sylvia was watching a hop-toad in the narrow footpath.

Answer 1

“and he turned again to look at sylvia with the hope of discovering that the rare bird was one of her acquaintances” this can be used as an example of motivation because it gave sylvia hope.

Answer 2

The passage that shows the character's ( hunter's ) motivation is the last one

( with the hope of discovering that the rare bird was one of her acquaintances. )
