Question

I made straight for the ship, roused up the men to get aboard and cast off at the stern. They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea.

The men in the passage are which type of character?


antagonist
minor
major
round

Answer 1

The men are minor characters because they are not that important to the story, they have minor roles to play in the story. 

Answer 2

The answer is "minor"

The men in this passage are smaller characters and this means that they are not fundamental to the main plot, have little or no importance in developing the story and serve only as composition of the background or background or formation of the main characters.
