Respuesta :
The correct answer is A. Shere Khan despises men
Explanation:
The traits of a character can be portrayed through direct descriptions (direct characterization) or the character's actions and words (indirect characterization). In the case of the excerpt presented, the words of Shere Khan show his personality, especially it is shown he despites or hates men. This is because he considers the child should die "He is doomed to die! It is the man-cub who has lived too long" and he is willing to kill the child himself " Give him to me". Besides this, Shere Khan openly admits his feelings for the child in "from the marrow of my bones I hate him!". Thus, it can be concluded Shere Khan despises men.
