Answer 1

The quotation that best shows the kind of folktale character Goha is would be:

**"With that, Goha fell to the floor and pretended to be dead." (paragraph 18)**

This line highlights Goha's trickster nature, which is a common characteristic of folktale characters. His willingness to pretend to be dead suggests he is clever and cunning, traits that are often found in traditional folktale protagonists.
