<span>“How horrible it would be . . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy Millicent of a few years back.” - Direct characterization. The speaker explicitly says that Milicent now isn't plain and shy, and that would be a condemnation to her.
</span><span>“Betsy Johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority” - Direct characterization. We can see Betsy and we get some information about her character (vivacious).
</span><span>“Walking beside Louise on the way to the drugstore, Millicent felt a surge of pride.” - Indirect characterization. The speaker doesn't say that Milicent is this or that kind of person. He/she just puts her in a context, commenting on her current feelings and thus allowing the reader to make a vague conclusion about her character.
</span><span>“Bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘Wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.” - Indirect characterization. Again, the speaker here describes this character's action, rather than features and character traits.</span>
Answer: A
The most relevant piece of evidence for this claim is option A. Option A is the only one that specifically describes how our lives have improved due to the exploration of outer space.

Answer:
The American society is composed of an ethnical mix, with members of many nations which blend into one unique American identity, while keeping their authenticity. This authenticity can be seen clearly in the cultural diversity. Just like any other identity, American is fluid over time. It changes and alters, in accordance with societal changes. Identities are not carved in stone. While we have every right to actively participate in the process of fashioning our identities, they still have a relative autonomy, and change over time. For example, if I am an Italian immigrant who lives in the U.S., I still have every right to claim my Italian cultural inheritance, but it doesn't make me less of an American. By living in America, I am adopting new cultural traits. My children will have their own perception of their cultural identity that doesn't have to be the same as mine.
