Answer 1

Answer:

4). He watched the rise and fall of a telephone wire.

Explanation:

Physical trait is described as the traits or aspects that are explicit or visually evident. Stated physical traits would imply the physical traits that are intentionally proclaimed by the author.

In the given excerpt from 'Holes', option 4 displays the sentence that contains a stated physical trait as the description of 'watching the rise and fall of a telephone wire' implies the 'visually apparent or physical feature'. The other options(options 1, 2, 3, and 5) imply the 'psychological traits' as implied by the descriptions like 'didn't believe', 'always seemed..in wrong place', 'in his mind' imply mental traits. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
