Answer:

nyksl Ambitious

The right answe is "A. He had a speech impediment, so he was worried he would be perceived as weak and unable to win a war."

Often the image that reaches us of great leaders does not show all the nature and personal characteristics behind the figure of leader. George VI possessed a characteristic that was remarkable during all his personal life and that was the main guide line of the film "The Discourse of the King". It is the stammering that persecuted the monarch from the tender age of 4 and that was reason of many difficulties for the King.

Upon his brother's abdication and the decision to take the throne, George VI was forced to face this problem and deal with it throughout his reign. With much training, persistence and courage, the monarch faced this difficulty, worked on his speeches, kept the morale of the population on the rise and became a symbol of British resilience.

Vesna [10]
<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>
