Answer:
What following expressions
Explanation:
The answer is B. The introductory text in the sentence cannot stand alone.
Thus, the introductory text in the sentence cannot stand alone explains best why the colon after "including” should be removed.
Remember, INDIRECT characterization is where the author tells you details about the character, and you have to use this information to infer the character's personality. DIRECT characterization is the opposite: where the author specifically tells and describes to you a person's character traits.
Let's look at option A: "Jeff was a kind boy who was always willing to help anyone in need." Already, we know this is NOT indirect characterization: it is DIRECT characterization. Why? The sentence calls Jeff "kind," which is a character trait. We don't need to infer that.
What about B? "Mariana was a chatterbox and could talk for hours about any subject." Here's the key word: "chatterbox." This is more direct characterization.
Let's look at C: "Juan pretended to be sick so that she would not have to go to school." Do you see any direct descriptions of Juan's personality? No! From this, we could infer that Juan is willing to break the rules. Perhaps she's having a hard time at school.
Just to check, look at D. "Iamar was jealous of his older brother Omar, who was a skilled soccer player." This one is a little trickier, because this passage has two characters: Iamar and Omar. But what do we know about Omar? He is "skilled" at soccer. Again, we have direct characterization here, so D isn't correct.
Answer: C
Answer:
Yes, it is very much true that almost every culture has its own values, ethical paradigms, religion, practices, rituals, norms, educational systems, language and behavioral patterns, but somehow or other they are similar in the basic patterns but with varying intensity. Every culture will have a particular religion which they follow, every culture have a language and rituals, but different cultures have different set of these dimensions and domains. In every culture, men and women live together in some kind of form and arrangements, where some give it legal and religion status as well, whereas, as in some culture living together is more important than any other rule or regulation but pattern of living life is the same. Why this is so, because we are all human beings and we have almost the same needs, state of felt deprivation, we all want to eat something, but we differ when it comes to wants. In some culture, if you are hungry, you can eat pizza, while in some other culture you eat Chicken tikka masala. Difference comes in terms of shape of the rules, but rules are same, you eat, wither it could be pizza or chicken tikka masala.
