Answer:

The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Characterization refers to how the characters in a story are represented by telling or showing a certain feature or description of their personalities or characteristics. There are mainly two types of characterization:<em> direct and indirect.</em>

  • Direct Characterization- the writer <em>tells</em> the character's personality by mentioning direct statements. For example: "She was a brilliant girl." In this case, he is directly telling the reader.
  • Indirect Characterization- the writer <em>shows</em> the character's personality by cumulative details. Examples of this are the thoughts of the character, or the way she dresses.

Among the choices above,<u> it is only letter D which shows indirect characterization.</u> <u>The statement shows what the character thinks about working in the farm, according to what he declared.</u>

The new clients are not responding to our new product the way we had hoped. frankly, I'm hardly ________ with last month's sales
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The new clients are not responding to our new product the way we had hoped. frankly, I'm hardly beside myself with last month's sales.

Explanation:

First, we must understand the context before we can choose an appropriate answer. <u>The speaker is talking about something bad: customers not responding (not buying) the new product. He/She also mentions that last month's sales have already been bad.</u> This context, therefore, asks for an idiom that conveys a negative idea.

We can eliminate options A and C, since they both convey a positive feeling. We are left with options B and D. Option D, down in the dumps, means sad. <u>Option B, beside myself, means shocked or upset. The speaker is saying he/she is hardly... because of last month's sales. In that case, the best option is B. beside myself. What the speaker means is that, because last month was so bad, he/she is not even surprised or shocked to see the current response to the new product.</u>
