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.

Answer:

What's the excerpt. Also, if it helps, to find the mood of an excerpt you need to consider the tone. To find the tone look at some of the words.

Explanation:

For example:

I can't believe Gretta did not invite me to her birthday even though we know each other very well.

The tone for this would be mad, outraged, or just a negative emotion because it contains negative words such as "not" or "can't".

20. When a novelist uses an allusion in her story, she encourages readers to ask questions about the novel’s themes and characte
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Provides clues about how the novels conflicts will be resolved

Explanation:

"Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated (as opposed to indirectly implied) by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference. In the arts, a literary allusion puts the alluded text in a new context under which it assumes new meanings and denotations. It is not possible to predetermine the nature of all the new meanings and inter-textual patterns that an allusion will generate. Literary allusion is closely related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices."
