Answer: Based on the context of this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the meaning of the word "jocund" is b) lighthearted.

Explanation: The word "jocund" is an adjective and it is used to refer to <u>someone who is lighthearted, that is to say someone who is cheerful and happy</u>. Moreover, in this excerpt, "jocund" is premodifying "travellers"; therefore, it has been used to ascribe a quality/attribute to this noun. <u>The phrase that is part of the context and that most contributes to infer the meaning of "jocund" is "in great spirit". </u>

A transition serves as a _____ between sentences and paragraphs.
HACTEHA [7]
As for this problem concerning about a transition between sentences and paragraphs, the most probable and most likely to be the answer out of the options presented would be the third one which is a bridge.

A transition serves as a bridge between sentences and paragraphs. Though they create a divide between them, these transitions do not necessarily indicate that the divide is to cause to present that the two aren't connected to each other. A summary and introduction wouldn't do since a transition functions more and effectively between sentences and paragraphs.

umka2103 [35]

The correct option is C) “Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.” Direct characterization is a literary device in which the author describes the personality and physical traits of a character by using adjectives or phrases in a direct way.  

In the example C, the author directly indicates the character physical trait (petite frame) and compares it to her personality (larger-than-life personality).

The other options do not describe directly the personality or physical characteristics of characters.
