Is this suppose to be a statement or part of a question?
The answer is B.
Hope this helps.
What is the reading from and who is the author?
Answer:
This was an ancient Roman festival during which worshippers gathered at a grotto on the Palatine Hill in Rome called the Lupercal, where Rome's legendary founders, Romulus and Remus, had been suckled by a wolf. The sacrifice of goats and dogs to the Roman deities Lupercus and Faunus was part of the ceremony.
Explanation:
Writers use direct characterization by revealing a characters personality. The writer has to say the characters personality directly.
Example: "The boy was very shy but very funny."
This sentence tells us the boy is funny but shy.
Direct and indirect characterization can easily get confused. Indirect is basically what we judge the character to be. Like appearance, actions and words.
Example: I see that Shaun isn't very smart because he fails all his exams.
Hopefully this makes sense and I helped. Good luck :)
