1.) DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION - the writer makes direct statements about a character's personality and tells what the character is like. 

<span>a. Read how Golding describes Piggy in the beginning of the novel. He reveal's to us readers that Piggy is a shy boy who dons glasses and is fat (thus his nickname). </span>

<span>2.) INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION - the writer reveals information about a character and his personality through that character's thoughts, words, and actions, along with how other characters respond to that character, including what they think and say about him. </span>

<span>a. A good example would be Jack. Golding described him as the eldest boy of the choir and many of the younger choir boys looked up to him and depended on him a great deal after the crash. What Golding didn't tell us was that Jack took his dictatorship seriously and he went too far with his role when he blindly killed Simon and he developed a thirst for blood.
Hope that helps ^-^</span>

Directions: Select the best verb or verbs to agree with the subject. If the sentence is correct as is, then select
dem82 [27]

Answer:

b. Believes.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the same number for the subject and the verb used. In other words, the subject-verb agreement means the subject and the verb are the same in number, meaning a singular subject will have a singular verb, a plural subject will have a plural verb, etc.

In the given sentence, the subject is "neither of my little brothers". This means it is a singular subject, referring to none of the brothers. Thus, according to the subject-verb agreement, the verb will be in the singular too.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be

Neither of my little brothers <u><em>believes</em></u> in Santa Claus.

A

This excerpt suggests that he's currently mourning the death of his friend one last time to the point of unconsciousness, probably saying a lot to himself in the process in order to cope with the fact of his loss.
