Explanation:

I have done this before and i got it correct.

The passage that the question is referring to comes from the novel Dragonwings by Laurence Yep, and it is the following:

Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble. Some demon boys were out in the street. They stooped as if to pick up things to throw, and Father whispered to me to sit up straight and not show I was afraid. The demon boys called out some things, but we ignored them until we had passed them by. A rock whizzed by my ear and hit Red Rabbit in the side. He snorted, but plodded on as steadily as before.

C. We ignored them until we had passed them by."

Explanation:

Indirect characterization is a literary device that authors use to show a character's personality through dialogues, thoughts, behaviors and actions, instead of using direct statements like “he is brave”.

In this passage, the boys (to whom the narrator calls “demons”) are throwing rocks at the narrator and his father because they are Chinese. The father, being aware of all this, advise his son not to look afraid and instead, to ignore them. The quote “We ignored them until we had passed them by” develops the Father as a strong, calmed and confident man in times of trouble, and someone who prefers to keep them both safe rather than to start a fight.
