Answer 1

Answer:

The second statement in the given excerpt illustrates that Nicki is a round character.

This is because she is feeling the footsteps of the thugs and also is able to think about their behaviour or character. She can compare their characteristics with the sacks of sugar because it can be bought and sold. She is not indulging into deep thinking by stopping in the woods. Rather she knows and thinks while moving forward and figuring out what to do.

Answer 2

Answer:

She could feel the footsteps behind her the nameless thugs whose loyalties could be bought and sold like sacks of sugar is the answer.

Explanation:

In literature, a round character is usually the star of the story and a significant player. This is the kind of character that faces conflict and he or she changes after it. They are more developed than flat characters, which only appear in specific moments. The conflict is stated in the first sentence and the second one mentions how it develops and how the character, Nicki relates and reacts to it.
