In Mark Twain's story, "The Californian's Tale," why would Henry be considered a static character? ? A. He denies that he talks about his wife too much when confronted. B. He has lived in the same house for over 19 years and refuses to move. C. The death of his wife has made him mentally ill and stuck in a pattern that he cannot break.​

A cry went up from the pack running after him when he fell. There was tension and hysteria in that concerted cry. And other things too, but he scarcely thought about it at all. Three women fell out of the race and clutched their sides and laughed; one of them fell on the sidewalk laughing like that, her belly puffing up huge with laughter, and subsiding again, letting it go.

5 He scrambled up to his feet, their cries in his ears, spurring him on; he must run, run until he dropped, going God knows where. He scrambled to his feet, his fingers clawing the asphalt, stumbled on, sounds filling his ears... shriek of a locomotive whistle...coming up, rising to a pitch, and going away...he turned the corner into the street that was at right angles to the one he had come down from the Slaughter House gates...he was running blind before, reacting to the compulsion of his fear...but now he saw his objective and it lent his effort purpose...a long line of freight cars was coming down from the railway yard along the lines that ran across the street, going towards No. 1 Pier.

The gates were lowered across the street stopping traffic; all he had to do was to get across the lines before that string of freight cars. They would cut off his pursuit for the time it would take that long train to cross the street. Trains always slowed down going into the dockyard; sometimes stopped, straddling the street. All he had to do was to get across.

The man operating the gate yelled at him. He paid no heed. He had balanced it in his mind to a nicety, figured he'd just have time to get across. He went under the gate. Voices shouted in his ears...the scream of the locomotive whistle rising to a crescendo...he paid no heed. The train was hurtling towards him, but he had time, he could make it.

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below. Then, answer the questions that follow.
Because Asha is my best friend, I agreed to let her use my car to run an errand. I told her
I had to leave for work at 5:00. She promised to be back by then. At 5:15, she still had not
returned. I was furious! Is this how she repays me for my kindness? Finally, at 5:30, she pulled
into the driveway. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said. "I spent the whole afternoon at the tire shop.
One of your tires had a nail in it, and it was going flat. Don't worry, though. I had it fixed for
you." I felt ashamed of myself for not trusting my friend. I called my boss and told her I'd be a
little late because of car trouble.
