William Zinsser's comments about writing as a profession perhaps dispel some myths about it. First, he says one needs to re-write sentences often many times to convey the designated meaning accurately and eloquently. Also, he says that one needs to stick to a schedule to be successful at writing like going to a job. Thirdly, writing is not easy and not necessarily fun at least at the time when the writing occurs (though in retrospect it may be considered to be fun-my opinion). Thus, we see that writing does not necessarily carry a lot of glory with it and is hard work and is a craft to work at to perfect it.

Characterization is the process in which an author creates and describes their characters to their readers. There are two main types of characterization:
- Direct characterization - the author explicitly (directly) describes their character. For example, the author could explicitly tell about the character's appearance, feelings, desires, life philosophy, etc.
- Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character through their actions, feelings, interaction with other characters, appearance, etc.
The first sentence is an example of direct characterization. Here, the author explicitly describes his character's appearance. The rest of the sentences are examples of indirect characterization because they include descriptions of actions, based on which we need to make additional conclusions about the characters. There is no explicit information about them.
This is why the first option is the correct one.
