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.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
timama [110]

Answer: Canada

Explanation:

If I can choose, I would always choose Canada as my favorite place to be. I would live there because I see myself there.

I am amazed by nature in it, waterfalls, trees, mountains, and woods. I am also a person who likes cold weather and in Canada, it is often snowy and cold. Another thing that I like about it is the language. English is also spoken in Canada and it would be the perfect fit for me. I was always amazed by snow in the woods and that white blanket on the top of every green tree. Every landscape in Canada would take my breath away. There are also many interesting animals there such as Grizzly Bear, Marmot, Moose, Cougar, and more.

Discuss the role of the Witches in the play. What is the nature of their power in regards to Macbeth’s fate? Be sure to discuss
lakkis [162]

The magical power of the three witch sisters in Macbeth is decisive for the progress of this one, which is one of their best pieces. Macbeth, the protagonist, ascends the throne of Scotland thanks to a series of crimes and intrigues, but at all times guided by supernatural forces. It is the witches who, like the three Moira sisters of Greek mythology, decide the future of the characters.

Macbeth seeks his luck, launched by the three witches. Shakespeare's character follows the witches' prophecy into the future. He seeks, at all times, the words of the three sisters to the point of overcoming them. An example of this overtaking can be seen in the fact that Malcom, the son of Duncan, is crowned, and not Fleance, the son of Banquo, as mentioned in the witches' sentence. This fact should suggest to us that this prophetic speech was not so certain and / or that, in part, they were supplanted by the interpretative will that covers the action of the main character. Therefore, Macbeth built part of his tragedy, in that he chose to interpret such prophecies.
