Rhonda Kazembe Character Analysis

Rhonda is the youngest member of Mr. Benedict’s household. Like Number Two, she passed Mr. Benedict’s tests as a child and was later adopted by him. She takes part in the tests by disguising herself as a child and pretending to lose her pencil outside the testing site. If one of the test takers tries to help her, as Reynie and the other members of the Mysterious Benedict Society do, she offers to help them cheat. Since Mr. Benedict is looking for children with a powerful love of honesty, none of the potential candidates must accept her offer. Once the children pass the tests and arrive at Mr. Benedict’s house, Rhonda greets them with warmth and friendliness, and she assists them with the fight against Mr. Curtain.

What good would those opportunities do him if he wasn’t qualified to be given them? And where was the pleasure in cheating? If he couldn’t pass fairly, he didn’t want to pass. He thought this––and mostly believed it––and felt his spirits boosted by the decision. But even so, a few seconds passed before he could tear his eyes from the paper on the floor.
