Answer 2

The plot influences characterization in this excerpt because:

D. The climax proves that Anton is determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anton is determined to defeat the hog. He tries it as an eagle, but he isn't able to accomplish it. Then he pleads to be transformed into a lion. He is unwilling to give up, as we can see. He does beat the hog and open it up to find the egg. Therefore, we can easily eliminate options A through C. We do not, in this excerpt, see Anton following orders. It also does not characterize the father as courageous or cruel. Thus, letter D is the best choice.
