Answer:
The correct answer is The characterization reveals Max's nervousness.
Explanation:
The characterization tool is used for the author of a literary work to describe his characters with details that serve for the development of the story.
There are two types of characterization:
- Direct: Indicates character traits that are explicitly written. They can be clarified by the author, the protagonist or other characters.
- Indirect: It is a subtle method where the reader is the one who deduces the personality or characteristics of the character through implicit descriptions made by the author.
As we can see from this passage, Max is nervous. Even the text gives us a hint of this when he says "He tapped his toe erratically" or tells himself that "It will be fine".
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is The characterization reveals Max's nervousness.
