Which line from the excerpt offers an indirect characterization of Bilee? A.“Billee's one fault was his excessive good nature, while Joe was the very opposite, sour and introspective, with a perpetual snarl and a malignant eye.”
B. “Buck received them in comradely fashion, Dave ignored them, while Spitz proceeded to thrash first one and then the other.”
C.“Billee wagged his tail appeasingly, turned to run when he saw that appeasement was of no avail, and cried (still appeasingly) when Spitz's sharp teeth scored his flank.”
D. “So terrible was his appearance that Spitz was forced to forego disciplining him; but to cover his own discomfiture he turned upon the inoffensive and wailing Billee and drove him to the confines of the camp.”
