Answer:

A

Explanation:

The author’s allusive reference to Shakespeare clearly indicates an assumption that the author makes about his intended audience—that is, that they are sufficiently well-read to recognize to whom he is referring when he quotes, but does not name, “the greatest of poets and philosophers.” It further implies that the audience will share the author’s positive opinion of Shakespeare: after all, the author assumes that quoting Shakespeare will help gain him a favorable reception from the audience.

(I know someone already answered this, I just wanted to provide the explanation from AP Classroom)

Crazy boy [7]
I would say ......characterization is shaped across the work and can be revealed implicitly when a text is read closely. Because characters change throughout the course of a novel, and usually you cannot determine their characterization right away
