First of all, I had seizures. The doctors gave me medicine for them. It was this pill called Phenobarbital, which is, like, this major sedative, so I was a junkie before I could even walk. I had to crawl across the floor in my diapers to get my fix. Those seizures can damage your brain. But the thing is, I was having those seizures because I already had brain damage, so I was reopening wounds each time I seized. Yep, whenever I had a seizure, I was damaging my damage.

Which character trait does the characterization from the passage above reveal about Arnold?

a. serious

b. closed-minded

c. worried

d. humorous

The answer is D. It is definitely not A because Arnold does not seem to take his situation seriously at all (joking about crawling across the floor, damaging damage etc). It is obviously not B and is not C.

No serious or worried person would be laughing about having a seizure. However, this is not the case with Arnold so apparently he is making light of a situation that would surely be very grave to others.
