The idea that is stated explicitly in the text is:
Brenda's nose is clogged.
Read the passage below to answer the question.
Brenda reached for the box of tissues. She blew her nose with a thunderous force and then tried breathing through it again. It was still clogged. She stood up and got a head rush that almost knocked her back down to the bed, but she regained her balance. As she tottered over to the phone on her dresser, all of her muscles ached. She located the contact labeled "Work" and pressed call. A couple of rings later, a familiar voice answered the phone, "Happy Fun Land, this is Deidra speaking. How can I help you have a happy fun day?" Brenda moaned, "Oh, Deidra, it's Brenda." Deidra responded with pep, "Hey, Brenda! I can't wait to see you this afternoon." Brenda grunted and replied, "Yeah, well, actually, I need to talk to the manager."

Without the specific passage provided, I can't determine the context of Martin's dialogue to accurately assess his character. However, you can infer Martin's traits based on the tone, content, and context of what he says.
If the dialogue suggests he is seeking clarity, he might be confused. If he's making contradictory statements or evading questions, he could be considered unreliable. If he expresses frustration or uses aggressive language, he might be angry. Lastly, if he offers solutions or approaches issues logically, he could be categorized as a problem solver.
If you provide the dialogue or context, I would be happy to help with a more specific answer!
