Answer 14

"Woody's the chill, fun older brother who also happens to be really responsible too. In other words, the perfect sub for Papa when Papa's gone at Fort Lincoln.

Unlike his father, Woody's not too big for his britches. He doesn't mind living with all the other Japanese-American fishermen on Terminal Island, whereas his father likes being "the only Japanese family in the neighborhood" in Santa Monica since he "[doesn't] want to be labeled or grouped by anyone" (1.2.2).

Woody's humble. He takes a job packing celery next to his mother (1.2.15), and he becomes a carpenter in camp (1.5.12)—this is a guy who isn't afraid to work." According to this, I believe the answer choice could possibly be A or D. I'm leaning towards D >~<
