In *The Lantern Keeper*, the protagonist, Kofi, is introduced through his actions: he carefully arranges lanterns at dusk, humming a lullaby his mother taught him, and when a child trips, he gently lifts the child, saying, ‘The night is dark, but we must keep the light for each other.' Analyze how the author develops Kofi's character, citing two techniques of indirect characterization.

Answer Options

A. By focusing on Kofi's dialogue about the darkness and his solitary walks, the author employs indirect characterization to portray him as isolated and mysterious.
B. Through the narrator's explicit statements about Kofi's bravery and the symbolic use of the lantern as a guide, the author directly characterizes him as courageous and independent.
C. By describing Kofi's thoughts about the night sky and his internal monologue about fear, the author uses indirect characterization to suggest his curiosity and adventurous spirit.
Correct Answer D. Through his compassionate actions (arranging lanterns, helping the child) and his reassuring dialogue that uses the light metaphor, the author uses indirect characterization to reveal Kofi's kindness and sense of responsibility.
