The correct answer is D. Girls had laughed a little nervously

Explanation:

In literature characterization is about the description or construction of a character during a story, this means characterization is about letting the reader know how the character is including physical features and personality traits. Additionally, characterization can be direct or indirect, in the case of direct characterization the narrator tells the reader the way a character is or looks by using adjectives to describe it; however, in the case of indirect characterization the narrator does not describe the characters directly, but uses their behavior, reactions or the situation of the character to tell the reader something about the character. Considering this the phrase "girls had laughed a little nervously" is part of indirect characterization as the narrator is not directly describing the personality of the girls, but their behavior and reactions indirectly suggest to the reader the way the girls are which is what indirect characterization is about.

liq [111]

The correct answers are B. Miracle plays; C. Mystery plays and F. Morality plays

Explanation:

During the Middle Ages from the 5th century to the 14th century in Europe, the Christian church had a major role in society and because of this, its power extended to different fields including theater. In this field, the church tried to reinforced its power and  spread faith and morality through three kinds of plays, the first one is miracle plays that used the life of saints and the theme of miracles to convey religious teachings; the second one was mystery plays that were quite similar to miracle plays as the word "mystery" did not mean secret or unknown but made reference to the extraordinary and supernatural events, because of this in mystery plays themes from the Bible such as the creation were included to teach the general population about the Bible; and the third one were morality plays that taught appropriate behaviors and practices as well as the consequences of not following the church. Therefore, the three types of plays that grew from the Christian church were miracle plays, mystery plays, and morality plays.
