Rewrite each sentence in two ways to clarify the meanings of the pronouns.

English

The sentence "Beth and Melissa were both late since she had lost her watch" is ambiguous because the pronoun "she" can refer to any of the two girls.

In order to eliminate such ambiguity, we could rewrite the sentence in the following ways:

  • Beth and Melissa were both late since the former had lost her watch.
  • Beth and Melissa were both late since the latter had lost her watch.

The word "former" is used to indicate the first-mentioned of two people while the word "latter" is used to indicate the last-mentioned of two people.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The sentence that is an example of indirect characterization is:

D.  I am quick to say thank you and return the favor if someone does something nice for me.

Explanation:

Options A through C use direct characterization. People are being described directly, explicitly, so to speak, through the use of adjectives - "frightened", "childish and immature", "surprised and overjoyed". However, letter D makes use of indirect characterization. Instead of using adjectives, the speaker is describing himself through his actions. When he says he thanks others and returns the favor, we can indirectly infer that he is grateful.
