I want to say it's 1.

Anabel Thompson · Answer 2

Well, when I look at this question I start to kind of find the answer by elimination. First, let's consider sentences 3 and 4. These two sentences don't really tell you much about the character at all, so these two are eliminated. Now, we look at sentences 1 and 2. They, both describe the characters but one goes into a little more depth of description. In my opinion the best one that describes its character is sentence two. The reason why is it describes his personality and his looks where as sentence one only describes the appearance.
