Identifying a Character's Physical Trait
Which phrase describes a physical trait?
He was overweight and the kids at his middle school
often teased him about his size. Even his teachers
sometimes made cruel comments without realizing it. On
his last day of school, his math teacher, Mrs. Bell, taught
ratios. As an example, she chose the heaviest kid in the
class and the lightest kid in the class, and had them weigh
themselves. Stanley weighed three times as much as the
other boy. Mrs. Bell wrote the ratio on the board, 3:1,
unaware of how much embarrassment she had caused
both of them.
