By characterizing Peter as angry and unhelpful.
The dialogue demonstrates Peter's frustration and refusal to help Olivia, which highlights his unhelpful nature.
“Peter, I have a question to ask.” Olivia smiled hopefully at her older brother. “Could you please help me study for my trig exam tomorrow?”
Peter looked up from his laptop screen and rolled his eyes. “I don’t have time for that.”
“But what do you mean? You can’t spare just a few minutes?”
“Olivia, I said no! And if you were that worried about passing the test, you should have started studying days ago! Now leave me alone!”
