I believe none of these options are correct. However, if you had to choose one, I would pick A - <span>Nina slid into her seat just as the bell rang and tried to catch her breath.
B, C, and D are incorrect because these are all examples of direct characterization, meaning that the other directly tells us what these people are like. This doesn't happen in A, which is why I would choose that option.
</span>
Is after the underlined word? If so, it'd be a preposition. It's followed by a noun.
King reacted very calmly when Princess Irene asked him to meet his grandmother.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
Princess Irene saw her old great grandmother upstairs in their apartment. No one believed what she said. Everyone thought it was a dream. To clear her doubts about the existence of her grandmother, she invited her father, the king to the room upstairs.
The king was confused and couldn't understand what Irene meant. He behaved very calmly and told politely to Irene that he has not been invited to the old lady's house.
Also, he said that the old lady doesn't allow guests to enter into the room without permission.
As a writer, after structural revising, I tend to revise grammically, and change any sentence errors, or change any phrases or words!!
