In my opinion, these two answers provide a direct characterization in the best manner:

1. Endowed with common sense, as a massive and hard as blocks of granite,

2. On the score of delicacy or any scrupulousness which a finer sensibility might have taught him, the Colonel, like most of his breed and generation, was impenetrable.


Explanation:

"Endowed with reasonable, as huge and onerous as blocks of granite, mounted along by stern rigidity of purpose, like iron clamps, he followed out his original style, most likely while not such a lot as imagining an objection thereto. On the score of delicacy, or any scrupulousness that a finer sensibility may need educated him, the commissioned military officer, like most of his breed and generation, was impenetrable."

This half provides direct characterization.

Direct characterization is wherever the talker tells the reader concerning the character. The talker specifically told the readers the traits of the commissioned military officer. Traits like invested with sense, as huge and hard, The commissioned military officer was impenetrable.

Why dress code don’t benefit students
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Dress codes don't benefit students because they take away creativity in a school system that already doesn't have huge support for creative courses(such as art and music classes etc.). It also takes away one of the biggest ways that kids/people express themselves.

What Fear Can Teach Us commonlit answers ?
kifflom [539]

This is a TED talk given by Karem Thompson

Explanation:

In her speech she talks about how fear is connected with the stories we had read. She says, first, we have to acknowledge that fear is an entire system of the brain.

Yet today, when we do not have to fear a saber-toothed tiger behind every tree, we are still telling ourselves that a critical level of danger may be right around every corner.

Now our stress is social, ethical, and financial, but our brain elevates the challenges to that same fear center. We have difficult family situations that need attention, but we avoid wading in because we are imagining the worst possible outcome.
