The correct answer is B. "She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by"

Explanation:

The word characterization refers to the way the personality traits, physical attributes and other elements that describe a character are presented by the narrator to the reader this can be done through direct or indirect characterization. In the case of direct characterization, the narrator directly describes the way the character is by using "adjectives" and other words that tell the reader about the character. On the other hand, in the case of indirect characterization, the narrator does not describe the character directly but lets the reader analyze the way a character is by presenting the actions and behavior of the character. Considering this the excerpt that is an example of direct characterization is "She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by" as in this the only excerpt in which the narrator describes how the character is in a direct way through adjectives by mention the character "is not bright" and providing further details mentioning this character does not look good or has money.

Answer:

The idea unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments is Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity  adapted from the National Park Service  paved the way for  theories about  electricity.

Explanation:

The Statement that Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired  study its properties is true because he started studying the properties of electricity in 1746 and devoted more time to it after retiring in 1788. He conducted his famous kite experiment in June 1752. Also, the statement that he never patented any of his inventions is also true and is supported by authors arguments. Franklin's influence in the early history of the United States has led people to call him "the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States". He is largely self educated because though he attended the school he did not graduate, but continued his education through voracious reading.
