Hi Aarroy,
Who is your favorite fictional character? It doesn't have to be someone from a classic novel unless your teacher specified. It can be a character from a movie you love etc.
In order to write a "descriptive" paragraph, all you have to do is describe the character you choose using vivid language. For instance, if I was writing about Darcy from Pride and Prejudice I could write;
<em>"He has silvery blue eyes and an intimdating stature."</em> etc.
Just write about your character's appearance as well as his personality.
Metaphors are comparisons that do NOT use <u>like</u> or <u>as</u>. For instance, I could write:
<em>"Darcy's personality is an onion; with an outward appearance that first appears cold but whose inner layers reveal his insecure and fragile nature."</em>
I know that sounds like a mouthful, but I am comparing Darcy's personality to an onion without using like or as, which is a metpahor.

Explanation:
A concise statement is one that is not too wordy but is rather straightforward and retains the original meaning intended by the author. When sentences are too wordy, the real meaning being conveyed could be lost.
Concise statements are expressed in as few words are possible so as to retain the interest of the reader. This will also prevent the reader from skipping around in order to get the main point. With these in mind, the first option is the most concise statement.

Explanation:
I have been able to match the sentences to their object pronouns.
Object pronouns are known to be those pronouns that replaces noun in a sentence and are the objects that receive the action in that sentence.
In a sentence, if the object pronouns replace nouns, the nouns they replace cannot be the subject of that sentence. These object pronouns are known to be personal pronouns which are used as grammatical object. They are used as the direct or indirect object of a verb or can be used as the object of a preposition.
Some examples are <em>me, you, him, her, us, it,</em> etc.
