Explanation:

To solve this character - matching problem (assuming it's from a novel like The Westing Game), we analyze each character's arc:

Character 1: Berthe Erica Crow (or Crow)

• She has a sense of guilt. Over the course of the story, she marries Otis Amber and through this relationship, she is able to overcome her guilt, find redemption, and experience joy. So the description "Learns to overcome her guilt and find redemption and joy by marrying Otis Amber" matches her.

Character 2: Mrs. Wexler (Jake Wexler's wife)

• She has been helped in the past. As the story progresses, she decides to pay it forward. She finances Chris Theodorakis's education. So the description "Appreciates how she was helped in the past and pays it forward by financing Chris's education" is for her.

Character 3: Angela Wexler

• At the beginning, she was somewhat cruel to those around her, including her neighbors and family (in terms of her attitude and the way she was perceived). As the story unfolds, she starts to recognize her own abilities and values them. So the description "Realizes she has been cruel to her neighbors and family and learns to value her own abilities" is a match for Angela.

Character 4: Turtle Wexler

• She starts to learn English. As she does so, she discovers a sense of confidence. Also, she begins to feel a connection with her neighbors. So the description "Discovers confidence as she learns English and feels connected to her neighbors" is about Turtle.

Character 5: Doug Hoo

• He has an interest in birds. As the story goes on, he finds happiness and success in his career as an ornithologist, where he studies birds. So the description "Finds happiness and success as an ornithologist studying birds" is for Doug.
