I believe these parts provide direct characterization: "<span>Endowed with commonsense, as massive and hard as blocks of granite, fastened together by stern rigidity of purpose, as with iron clamps, he followed out his original design, probably without so much as imagining an objection to it."

3. The deal seems fair.
Subject--Linking Verb--Predicate Adjective
4. My cousins live by the ocean.
Subject--Verb
Explanation:
1- Jesus Christ is the subject; offers is the transitive verb; us in the indirect object /objective pronoun; eternal life is the direct object.
2- Some riddle is the subject- are (be) linking verb -easy(to answer) is a predicative adjective.
3-The deal is the subject; seems is the linking verb; fair is the predictive adjective.
4- My cousins is the subject; live is an intrasitive verb

In this manner, the sentences that follow it clarify the reason why the workshops are important, when and where they take place, and how to find information to register.
