Answer:

This excerpt is an example of direct characterization because A. the author openly states a character's traits.

Explanation:

After reading the excerpt, we know that the character is a woman who is wise and experienced and who knows what's best for herself and for children. The reason why we have that knowledge is the fact that the author told us these traits directly. We did not have to guess them through the character's own deeds, words, or thoughts - indirect characterization. It was the narrator's own description of her that fed us this information.

Direct characterization is, thus, an explicit characterization. It is the author telling us what the character is like through the narrator or another character.

Who can summarize this paragraph???
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Income inequality of the U.S. has reached the highest peak since the Great Depression. Americans who make 40 times of much are in the top 1% than the bottom 90%. The population in 1978 had 0.1% claim to nearly 7% of the wealth and a 22% increase by 2012. Other nation's income inequality has had an armful of harmful outcomes, debt was also one of the higher rates, crime, and mental illness. Researchers want to understand this better by investigating how his inequality might have an influence of those of know of it. 

I don't know how well it is. Kinda hard to summarize this. Hope I at least helped a bit.

I believe we should follow the six feet distance and going out if necessary. Maybe I'm not quite sure about this but I have recently.
