The screen door opens and Goodman comes out, a man in his early forties who first greets them smiling and then letting the smile fade as he sees the faces.

Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions. If we look at all of the possible answers for this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine characteristics. One, however, blatantly speaks of how old a person is. With the words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct characterization.

The best revision of the modifier "badly" in the sentence 5 is "bad" : She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch. The word badly is an adverb, the word that modifies other words and verbs: badly made furniture ; she was treated very badly. In this sentence (modified), the word bad is an adjective that follows a linking verb "felt."

Which person has the best qualifications to write a credible article about the

tangare [24]

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

since a professor has already written books on the production of food he should be well prepared for writing an article. People who already write have a better ability to grab a reader's attention.

the tv reporter has only visited a single fast food museum, so he wouldn't have much to write on.

the former worker is already mad at being fired (he would write negatively about the place) and only has knowledge about meat. (in my opinion)

the senator could be a good option but his field is law not writing.

hope this helps :-)
