character
motive
fashion
intention

Explanation:

The phrase "a good judge of character" is a common collocation meaning someone who can accurately assess a person's personality or moral qualities. The context shows the old lady immediately knew the boys were untrustworthy, which aligns with judging their character. The other options do not fit the context: "motive" refers to a reason for acting, "fashion" relates to style, and "intention" is a planned action, none of which match the idea of assessing the boys' inherent traits.

Answer:

A. character
