What makes this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens an example of direct characterization? The elderly female was a wom

an of wisdom and experience; she knew what was good for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.

Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.

Answer:

Explanation:

The key in Risk Management is to make a well-informed decision to have the greatest possibility of avoiding damages or to be able to control them if they happen.  

In the example, even if a wire fence has been installed to keep wild marine life outside of the swimming area, the best to do is to confirm if the suitable authorities have approved that fence so we are sure, first of all that swimming is really safe and, that in front of an undesirable event, we will have someone to whom raise a claim against.
