Quickk 100 ! based on the passage, what is the main reason the author includes howie as a character in the story? question 1 options: a.) to lighten kevin’s seriousness. b.) to call attention to izzy’s enthusiasm. c.) to create a conflict that challenges kevin. d.) to introduce a surprise for cromwell.

I'm not entirely sure but I think it would be A because usually a character that is not the main voice but more of a sidekick is meant to keep the main character's quest or mission from getting too boring.  Logically he/she would be meant to be a funny character to lighten up the mood of the book.

A because the story is relying on Kevin to calm down
