To determine how the author develops Alleyne's character in the passage, we should consider the options:
A. **Providing background information about Alleyne.** - This might help develop the character, but if there isn't specific background info given in the passage, this option may not be the most accurate.
B. **Describing Alleyne's interaction with the tumblers.** - This option could reveal aspects of his personality, such as his social skills, confidence, or how he fits in, which is a strong way to develop a character.
C. **Hinting at why Alleyne had to leave home in the first place.** - While this can provide depth, it might not be the main focus of character development in the passage.
D. **Revealing Alleyne's desire to go to Ringwood with the tumblers.** - This could indicate his aspirations and motivations, but it may not fully develop his character unless tied to his interactions with others.
The strongest option that directly contributes to character development, especially in showing how Alleyne interacts with his environment and others, is likely **B. describing Alleyne's interaction with the tumblers.** This choice focuses on living moments that define how he is perceived and how he perceives himself through these engagements.
Therefore, the best answer is **B. describing Alleyne's interaction with the tumblers.**
