<span>The screen door opens and Goodman comes out, a man in his early forties who first greets them smiling and then letting the smile fade as he sees the faces.

</span>

Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions.  If we look at all of the possible answers for this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine characteristics.  One, however, blatantly speaks of how old a person is.  With the words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct characterization.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The three phrases which complete the sentence (in their right) are:

A, D and C.

  • He demonstrated a resolve to survive.
  • He applied strategy to the need at hand
  • He pushed through difficult circumstances.

Explanation

Every action begins as a thought. So it's reasonable to put 'A' first. Resolutions begin in the mind.

The last sentence 'C' reports some kind of conclusion. "He pushed through difficult circumstances."

'D' tells us how: He pushed through difficult circumstances by "applying strategy to the need at hand"

Cheers!
