Answer: Provided that you are interested and have enough free time, it would be great to discuss [insert topic here] in person.
Explanation:
The tone that we use when writing an email depends on its recipient. If we assume that this is an email that we want to send to our potential business partner/client/employer/professor, our writing is going to be formal. <em>Formal writing</em> is a type of writing we use in academic work or business.
Having this in mind, there are many possible ways to introduce a topic that is going to be discussed in a meeting. For instance, we could say: Provided that you are interested and have enough free time, it would be great to discuss [insert topic here] in person.
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
1. Pellucidity
Intricate words and syntax are an obstruction to pellucidity and should be evaded. Conceptions should be limpidly distributed between sentences and paragraphs.
Example: Albeit I have never been to the races afore, I was very exhilarated to behold them, yet withal remotely nervous, because of the type of people who go there.
Amended: I’d never been to a horse race. I was exhilarated to go, but withal a little nervous, since I wasn’t sure about the people at the track.
2. Don’t describe each and every one of your own forms of kineticism
Example: As I went in the door, I turned and visually perceived a TV. I looked around and visually perceived posters on the wall.
As I went further in I descried everyone was optically canvassing M*A*S*H.
Ameliorated: I immediately descried the posters on the wall, though everyone else’s ocular perceivers were fixated on a TV playing M*A*S*H.
3. Evade the second-person narrative
A consequential part of the narrative essay is the fact that the inditer experienced the events described.
Example: As you go in the door, you will turn and visually perceive a TV. You look around and visually perceive posters on the wall.
As you go further in you descry everyone is optically canvassing M*A*S*H.
Inditing in the present tense is okay, however.
4. To interest the reader, dynamic word cull is key
Evade sounding too clinical. Utilize the same slang, idiom, and turns of phrase you would utilize in verbalization. Eschew passive constructions.
Example: I am presented an array of unpleasant photos in which many casualties are shown after automobile accidents.
Ameliorated: They showed me a book stuffed with gruesome pictures of people who’d been in car wrecks.
