Answer 1

Hint: The above characters are from the Novel named as “The Professor”. It is the first novel of Charlotte Bronte. Finally, in 1857, it was published posthumously.

Complete answer:
The main characters are the characters that affect the plot most or are most influenced by what happens in the story.
A) The correct answer is Option A. While Edward Crimsworth is the antagonist in the story, the narrator is the protagonist of the story, making them the main characters of the story.
B) As Mrs. King is not a character in the story, Option B is incorrect, but it is only the name of the lodgings where the narrator had a small apartment.
C) Options C refer only to one of the story's main characters and thus it is incorrect.
D) However, Options D also refers to only one of the story's main characters. Therefore, it is also incorrect.

After looking at all the options, we can say that the correct answer is “Narrator and Edward Crimsworth” because it tells us about the main character and about the opponent in this story.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:
-Edward is the tyrannical elder brother of William.
-He is an accomplished businessman, a Yorkshire mill owner, married and more beautiful than his brother.
-He is jealous of the education of his sibling.
-He loses his wealth and his wife later, only to become wealthy again by the end of the book.
