Answer:

B. Describing a character's gestures.

Explanation:

One of the ways in which writers often fill a natural pause in a dialogue is by describing a character's gestures. This serves two purposes. On the one hand, this allows the author to elaborate on the character's feelings and reactions without the need to use more words. Another advantage is that this allows the writer to create a more natural conversation, as people often speak in this way in real life.

Read the text carefully, then answer the question located beneath:
nadya68 [22]
I'd have to go with:
"Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary."

How and when Killer bees were created and where, is immaterial.  The main point the article is trying to make is about the Dangers of the Killer Bees and why they are so dangerous.

According to Jefferson, what is the source of a government’s authority?the consent of the peopletraditionmilitary forcea strong,
Ghella [55]

The correct answer is A: the consent of the people.

Jefferson makes it very clear that the source of a government's authority is the consent of the people. He uses the phrase "consent of the governed," which means the people (since they are the ones who are governed).

He does not believe a government's authority comes from tradition, the military, or a leader.
