Question

read the excerpt from \the thing about terry.\ what’s she love most? i ask when all else is said what makes her smile, gets her up out of bed? based on the indirect characterization in this stanza, which word best describes the narrator? caring polite gentle proud

Explanation:

The narrator asks about what Terry loves most, what makes her smile, and what gets her out of bed. These questions show a concern for Terry's interests and well - being, which is characteristic of someone who is caring. "Polite" would involve good manners in interaction, "gentle" is about a soft demeanor, and "proud" is about having a sense of pride in something/someone, none of which are as strongly indicated as "caring" by the narrator's questions.

Answer:

caring
