Answer:

indirect characterization

Explanation:

indirect characterization is when a character is described or characterized indirectly. this means the author describes a character with details; what the character says or does.

it does not simply say "____ is ____ (description like mad, annoying, sad, pretty).

in this example, Gloria "withdraws into a shell where she feels safe and hidden." what is this saying about her? she is shy and insecure. the author does NOT say "Gloria is shy." Or "Gloria is insecure."

Which of the following excerpts is an example of iambic pentameter?
sveta [45]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C. " I see you shining like a jewel of night".
</span>
Iambic pentameter is a rhythmic scheme that consists of five iambs - two-syllable feet that consist of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (it sounds something like this: da DA da DA da DA da DA da DA). Therefore, this line is pronounced like this (the accentuated syllables are bolded, and slashes separate the iambs): I see / you shi / ning like / a jewel / of night.
