Answer 1

The quote below characterizes Sonny as:

A. An outcast or alien among his extended family members.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Sonny's Blues" is a short story by author James Baldwin. At this point in the story, those who live with Sonny are taken by a strange feeling. As Sonny recovers from his drug addiction, he finds it hard to adjust. The people around him also find it difficult to understand and accept Sonny's presence, since he acts in a strange way:

They began, in a way, to be afflicted by this presence that was living in their home. It was as though Sonny were some sort of god, or monster.

It was as if Sonny did not function in the same wavelength as the rest of the world. They felt his presence like they would feel the one of an alien or an outcast. Sonny was disconnected from the regular life everyone else seemed to live.
