Answer: The author uses dialogue to provide the reader with indirect characterization.
Explanation: The indirect characterization is used as a tool to describe a character through the dialogues used by the characters.
An indirect object is the beneficient of the action, or for whom the action is done. It often has the form of "for x" or "to x", but not always.
Among the options the indirect object is found in the option C:
C. They gave me a bonus.
the indirect object is "me"
If you're talking about the poem by Edith M. Thomas then I believe that the central idea is about how people can base something off of their looks. I'm not completely sure, but it talks a lot about how they look dead, but then explain that they are not. To me that makes it sound a lot like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".
It could also mean that things take time to grow into something beautiful, and before that happens, you have to go through something difficult, seeming as if it is the end of the world. But then you blossom and bloom and everybody will look in awe.
I'm not completely sure these are right, and I'm not sure we read the same poem, but you didn't state the author's name. This was just off the top of my head but I hope it helps you or gives you an idea :)
