Question

I sighed with impatience. In recent months Armand had become a figure of authority,

siding with my father and mother occasionally. As the oldest son, he sometimes took
advantage of his age and experience to issue rules and regulations.
"How much money have you got?" he whispered.
"You in some kind of trouble?" I asked, excitement rising in me as I remembered the
blackmail plot of a movie at the Globe a month before.
He shook his head in annoyance. "Look," he said, "it's Pa's birthday tomorrow. I think
we ought to chip in and buy him something..."
Which best identifies the character traits this passage reveals in Armand?

A) he is considerate
B) he is selfish
C) he is desperate for his father's approval
D) he is good at collecting money ​

Answer 1

He is considerate.

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the passage that has been given here, the character of Armand has shown to be very considerate. He has been shown as a responsible boy who is trying to put ahead the fact that he is the oldest of all and responsible for the other children also.

His thought of wanting to buy his father a birthday present shows his maturity and being considerate, and the fact that he is siding with his parents (clearly more than he has in the past, based on the narrator's impatience) shows that he is trying to be more adult and grown up and has changed over a period of time.
