To determine which passage seems most out of character for Phillip, we can analyze the behavior and characteristics of Phillip as described in the text.
In the given options, passage D - "Your saving all the water for yourself" - does seem slightly out of character for Phillip. Throughout the text, it is established that Phillip is a compassionate and empathetic character, particularly toward his cat, Stew Cat, as seen in passage C when he expresses his gladness for Stew Cat's presence. This indicates a caring and considerate nature.
On the other hand, passage D shows Phillip accusing someone of hoarding water for themselves, which seems more selfish and confrontational. While it is possible for characters to have moments of frustration or anger, this passage goes against the overall characterization of Phillip as someone who tries to find solutions to problems rather than pointing fingers.
To find the answer yourself in the future, analyze the character's behavior, personality traits, and attitudes throughout the text, and compare them to the options given. Look for passages that contradict or deviate from their established character traits.
