Which description is an example of direct characterization? A. The teenager clenched the steering wheel, his hands sweaty as the
umka2103 [35]

The correct option is C) “Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.” Direct characterization is a literary device in which the author describes the personality and physical traits of a character by using adjectives or phrases in a direct way.  

In the example C, the author directly indicates the character physical trait (petite frame) and compares it to her personality (larger-than-life personality).

The other options do not describe directly the personality or physical characteristics of characters.

Which piece of evidence best supports the theme that power can corrupt people? "lowliness is young ambition's ladder, / Whereto
____ [38]

Answer:

"Scorning the base degrees / By which he did ascend"

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Julius Caesar" tells how the title character was murdered for the 'safety of Rome and its people' by people close to him. The conspirators included Brutus and Cassius, who felt that Rome is better off without the over ambitious Caesar.

The lines "Scorning the base/ By which he did ascend" best supports the theme that power can corrupt people. These lines were spoken by Brutus in Act II scene i of the play where he's shown debating between his dilemma of participating and supporting the murder plan of Caesar or not. By these words, he meant to imply that once people are ambitious, they will do anything to get their goal, even humbling themselves. But, once they get their goal, they turned their backs on those who helped them achieve and tries to gain higher ground while despising and scorning those behind his success. This greed blinded him and let him see only things for himself. Thus is the same case for Caesar. Brutus opines that even though Caesar may be a good leader now, but once he gains more power and become king will be bad for Rome. Thus, the decision to kill him.

Please make this don't write anything random make it professional choose whatever you want
-BARSIC- [3]

The full moon shines brightly through the trees, making it my only source of light. My heart beats faster than a drum as I walk through the mysterious forest. After hours upon hours of wondering, I stumble upon a shed. Looking at it send shivers down my spine and the feeling of someone watching me strengthens. Not having any other source of shelter, I boldly walk towards the house. My vision starts to darken and my head pounds, but I continue to get closer. I can feel my body shutting down, as if I'm entering a trance. Yet I can't stop walking towards the house. My hand touches the doorknob, but at the same time I feel something touch my shoulder. I glance behind me and there it was. The next thing I knew I blacked out.

This is more of a short ish story that I rushed so you can add or delete anything you dislike, I'm not that good at writing im sorry!
