The idea
A character question may be answered from what a person does elsewhere in a book the candidate has read. The passage is the evidence, and a trait not shown in it cannot be the answer however true it is of the novel.
In practice
The passage is the evidence.
Where people slip
Outside knowledge is not admissible.
