I haven’t had a seizure in seven years, but the doctors tell me that I am “susceptible to seizure activity.” Isn’t that one of the worst phrases you’ve ever heard? Susceptible to seizure activity. Doesn’t that just roll off the tongue like poetry? I also had a stutter and a lisp. Or maybe I should say I had a st-st-st-st-stutter and a lissssssssththththp.
Which character trait does the characterization from the passage above reveal about Arnold?

sensitive
self-deprecating
cynical
compliant
