Answer 1

The author develops Peter's character in the passage from "Peter" in the following manner:

C. By describing his physical appearance.

In "Peter" by Theodore Dreiser, the narrator describes Peter's physical appearance in details in order to convey what that character is like.

He talks about Peter's beard, hair, clothes, even his height and his manners.

The purpose is to show that Peter is different from most people. He does not care about what he looks like.

Peter does not waste his time worrying about how clean his clothes are, or how tidy he looks.

With that, the author conveys Peter's individuality.
